[Dano]

Of all the nights to be unable to sleep, this one at least had something decent to entertain me with

 

[VaderDSL]

Nicely done!

But guess they still need to check all the systems on Curiosity.

The pure excitement in that room after touchdown!!

Understandable. For some I'm sure it's their life's work up to this point.

 

[VaderDSL]

All that way and the cameras are covered in dust wonder if they built in a way to clean the lenses?

 

[GreenMint]

Awesome, go go curiosity!!

Love the Nasa/Curiosity Tweets!

Cool was wondering.

 

[Emphacy]

You can see it's wheel!

Understandable. For some I'm sure it's their life's work up to this point.

oh, absolutely no doubt. But it went from nothing to sheer excitement in an instant. I just heard one guy say 8 years of attention! I'm very happy for him.

 

[GreenMint]

Amazing what can be done!

 

[BloodyL]

That was fun, congrats to all involved!

 

[Lethagized]

The pinnacle of technology unfolding before our very eyes. What a proud moment.
