I think it's speeled bridle. Like you put on a horse.
And it's down.

Hugs all around. Amazing. Wow.
Now how long will the rover operate on the surface. I read it’s nuclear powered. Don’t know if that’s true, tho. I suspect it’s a misunderstanding by the reporter. But... does it need solar panels? Getting away from solar panels would be a big improvement, imho.

Fantastic. You just know Obama and the ‘rats were hoping for failure, so they could shut down the space program for good.

Powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, like the old Viking landers. produces electricity from the heat given off by plutonium.
To: LibWhacker
Nuke powered can do primary mission for 2 earth years.

THEY ARE LOSING IT...WEEPING IN THE CONTROL CENTER...WONDERFUL VIDEO MAKES ME VERY PROUD INDEED TO BE AN AMERICAN TONIGHT.
THIS IS THE KIND OF CELEBRATION THAT DESERVES CHAMPAGNE FLOWING, NOT SOME STUPID SPORTING EVENT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ON BEHALF OF ALL MANKIND!
To: PA Engineer
Amen! I just woke up the house with my clapping and hollering. That skycrane idea is so cool. And the fact that we got pictures within a minute or two of landing is amazing.

When you have kids, the big hope is that they are healthy.
Curiosity is down, and it’s healthy. JPL is a proud father/mother tonight.
I’m located about 5 miles south of JPL right now.

A lot of those libs would like nothing more than to see us stick to the low ground (Earth) while everybody else goes to the moon and beyond.
