Live streaming Mars landing right now on the NASA website ....
scheduled to land at 3pm EST.


WOW!Â* They successfully landed it on Mars.

All I saw was a bunch of people in a control room wearing maroon
shirts...



You should have offered to hitch a ride on the spacecraft so you
could watch it land in person.



I was going to, but I heard that the Orange Menace was onboard...



It's really an amazing feat considering all the challenges.
Long range communications have certainly improved since the
earlier landings on Mars.Â* They had an image within a few minutes
after landing.



The science is way over my pay grade, but I do appreciate NASA and what
it does.
