Thanks for the link
As if we haven't sent men to Mars yet. This is 2012. We should be living there by now :P
oOoOoO la la.

I'm exited to watch this.

I go every other weekend, got a great view. You should come next time.
Thanks Froggy for the link :D
In serious talk, I can't believe we haven't sent anyone to the Moon since 1976. Surely tech has improved heaps since then and it'd be beneficial to go again [Rage]

I've thought this also. The obvious jibe is that they faked the initial landing and technology still isn't good enough.

Americans being shifty? Never. :P
Touchdown!

Where as these at?
No. not the thumb nail the larger res one.

But still, excited to see anything streamed back from the rover before it lost communication.

Will be uploaded here soon..

Apparently HD pics/vids taken on the landing take 48 hours to get back here.


Amazing! I'm blown away by these images.
thanks Leasha. that twitter pic is not so good :P

but here's a better one with its shadow

needs some wipers :P
Yeah no worries. They only had a few images sent back and the first through was the thumbnail- which of course is rather small.
I don't get waht so exciting about it. It's not like the first time one of these has landed on Mars.

Is that the floor, and then the horizon and sun, or is that just the floor...?

Here

Yeah that's the dust and then the horizon.

I think what's so exciting about this mission is that the rover will potentially be able to send back a ton more info than previous missions..

Also what's not exciting about landing on ANOTHER PLANET! Every time we successfully land anywhere I'm excited.
