This image reminds me of starting in the morning: sun's up, there's plenty to do, let's get started.

On another note, I would love to hear the sound of whatever Martian breeze is blowing while Curiosity's wheels crunch over the gravel.

There is hardly anything to hear since the atmosphere is so thin.
Looks like JPL was planning on making recordings with the Mars Polar Lander but we know how that turned out:

This is not true. There was a post in another topic that had a citation...there are a lot of sand storms on Mars and there is actually sound, it is just attenuated.
