Atlas, not Saturn!

I had Apollo on the brain during our Saturday night coverage of NASA's Curiosity Rover mission to Mars.  
I reported that a Saturn V rocket was carrying the Mars Science Lab.
I should have said it was an Atlas V rocket.
I quickly heard from plenty of rocket and NASA lovers out there.
(That’s what happens when you spend too much time on nasa.gov, looking at all the cool Apollo archive material.)

 

Thanks to all who wrote in.
