Curiosity on Mars
I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to follow this religiously all night. Landing expected at 1.31 am EDT, and then it seems like it would take a couple of hours to see the first photos from the surface.
What do you think? Will we spot any worms this time?

No worms, but I'm hoping to see a three breasted hooker.

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: Curiosity on Mars
Ok i`m watching the streaming and i noticed that there are a lot of women in NASA. There was one girl who was really pretty btw. Also, i think i saw Larry David celebrating there.

Re: Curiosity on Mars
All images will end up here: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/raw/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But it will take a day or two before we see any juicy panorama pics in color.

Re: Curiosity on Mars
This is pretty spectacular: One of the orbiters took a picture of the lander as it was descending with the parachute.

Re: Curiosity on Mars
WE'RE ON MARS!
I watched some of the post touchdown livestream, in fact I think I joined it 5 seconds after it landed considering how long it took them to calm down enough to continue the press conference.
I really think NASA should consider an early settlement program trying to create a human-sustainable habitat on Mars and not worry about bringing the people back. I wouldn't doubt that there would be no shortage of volunteers even knowing it was a more than likely a one way trip.

Re: Curiosity on Mars
I was wondering, too. I'm thinking it's something from a video game.
