@MarsScienceLab: Congrats to @MarsRovers, finalists in the Shorty Awards for #science. Help them win! Vote at http://bit.ly/5tLi9J [I congratulate @MarsRovers but I am quite torn as my Space Tweep Society friend @flyingjenny is also in the running - both so worthy! I could never decide.]
MarsScienceLab: I nominate @MarsRovers for a Shorty Award in #science b/c they've done 6 yrs of sci, & paved the way for me! vote: http://bit.ly/5tLi9J

Mars probe's latest trouble: Titanium parts
The trouble-plagued, delayed, and cost-overrun Mars Science Laboratory mission is crawling out of the technical and financial dog house. But now NASA is worried some of its titanium parts might not be strong enough.
