I hope the Rube Goldberg landing device doesn't drop 406's camera platform.

I can't believe this worked. This is the most amazing interplanetary mission since Cassini–Huygens or maybe Voyager!
Hats off to 406 and his MSSS crew, JPL, and NASA!Originally Posted by blurred

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

NASA's Curiosity rover has landed on Mars! Its descent-stage retrorockets fired, guiding it to the surface. Nylon cords lowered the rover to the ground in the "sky crane" maneuver. When the spacecraft sensed touchdown, the connecting cords were severed, and the descent stage flew out of the way. The time of day at the landing site is mid-afternoon -- about 3 p.m. local Mars time at Gale Crater. The time at JPL's mission control is about 10:31 p.m. Aug. 5 PDT (early morning EDT)." have another hit of sweet california sunshine"

So stoked for nasa, hopefully they can get some more clams out of congress.

Science for the motherfucking win! Just thinking about what we did is mindblowing -- traveled 352 million miles to another planet, hovered over the surface with rockets, used a skycrane to land a mobile science laboratory the size of a car.

Great show from Pasadena.
Neil de Grasse Tyson must be stoked out of his mind that so many people watched this ... it shows that science CAN still captivate the minds of American citizens._______________________________________________

Awesome! Major Mars to ground control.
Now someone needs to make a Mars bike using those super fat wheels.watch out for snakes

Wonder what those wheels are made of? Bet each one costs like 1000 Mojo SL's.

So 406's camera's images won't come in until the system commissioning checks are done and the mast is deployed, but here is a sweet image of the landing captured by MRO last night:

Those images are from the "Hazard Avoidance cameras."
More images and info here
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ms...dexEvents.html
As planned, the rover's early engineering images are lower resolution. Larger color images are expected later in the week when the rover's mast, carrying high-resolution cameras, is deployed._______________________________________________
