Did he just say if anyone from the NSA is listening you need to watch the next flyby? It was directly after the guy shouted holy sh*t

edit on 6-8-2012 by foursecondpin because: typo

The guy said MSA, Which stands for JPL's "Mission Support Area (MSA)".

I remember staying up way too late waching the other rovers land and waiting for the pictures to upload. And I was just as excited to see this one.

Well done NASA team!! And it was a joy to see them jump around and bask in their success!

What's all the celebrations at NASA about?

They're acting like they just landed on Mars or something.

i just wanted to put your awesome post up again!

Love this stuff! Awesome. Watching Mission control live as it landed was pretty cool.

First image!

Direct Link to Rover Images, just tipped off to this from the stream.

Eta: Don't actually see new images yet - Website being flooded with traffic also, I suspect.

Lol I know right, you owe me a coke...

I grabbed some screen shots while it was all happening at the end and then a hi res grab they showed of wheel and shadow and I wanna put them up but it's such a daunting task on this site--I hate it.Hosting from photobucket but no matter how I seem to configure--all I get when I preview my post is the square thingy telling me that the image is not found.

Definantly an event that I will remember for the rest of my life. Hopefully I'll be able to tell this story to my grandchildren.

Anyone know how long it will take until color pictures start coming in?
