HA HA JJJ I recently got my internet upgraded to 10 meg per sec so I was able to watch and have IIS and Facebook on all at the same time while at the same time Pam was working remotely on her work computer from home I love fast internet

I was "watching" it via the NASA app as I was driving home. Well done to the guys at JPL and NASA

wow, how awesome was that.

The engineers that built that skycrane and all the rest are pure genius.

Now that was reality tv worth watching.

this pic shows just how big curiosity is compared with previous rovers

I watched it from the planetary society's website, so you got to see the grown bearded men cry and hug AND hear Bill Nye yell along with the rest of the crowd
