How did the Curiosity rover weigh a mountain on Mars? - a podcast by Paper Boys

The Curiosity rover on Mars has some pretty amazing experiments aboard, but curiously enough never had a gravimeter, a device used for measuring the gravitational pull of buried rocks.

Read the paper and news stories here.
