remember all info we get is 7 minutes old so when JPL says curiosity is entering Mars Atmos it is in fact already on the surface of Mars.

Lol, I noticed all those blue shirts, too. Are NASA’s scientists and engineers now wearing a uniform? Weird.
Gettin’ nervous about this landing. Darn thing’s too complex.

Program polo-shirts, T-shirts, caps, etc. are pretty common on government contracts.

Yep, CNN TV is carrying it live
Twenty minutes from upper atmosphere to land, is that correct?
17 minutes to land is what talking head just said.

Nope, they are now describing how Mars orbiters will report on curiosity progress during landing. Two orbiters will over head thru most of the descent.

No point in being nervous. It's gonna work or not. The die has been cast. Literally.
On our side, the die is smart and can do fancy stuff. ;)
Take heart. Drink beverages. Enjoy the show.
