POLL: Do you think "Curiosity" will safely land on Mars tonight?

NASA's bazillion-dollar Mars rover, Curiosity, is set to begin its deceleration and descent onto the Martian surface later this evening. I'm planning to watch things unfold on Xbox Live.

What do you think will happen to this mission? Total success? Crash and burn? Crippled but functional? Or will it miss the planet altogether?

Neat thing is, because of the time it takes the signal to travel 150,000,000 miles back to earth, what we see will be what actually happened 14 minutes in the past. Because of this immense delay, the entire landing must be done by the computer alone.
