I can't wait for color and higher resolution images. For preliminary shots those are quite impressive!

The video of the control room when confirmation was received was a joy to see - the relief was palpable on everyone's face.
Gotta love moments like that. |

I did, btw. Though I had to use CNN after my bandwidth collapsed. Sadly none of the German news stations felt obligated to broadcast this big event live. And those CNN reporters seemed quite clueless.

I just noticed that in the US it was still Neil Armstrong's birthday when Curiosity landed on Mars. That's a nice birthday present.
