Good Luck, Curiosity! Wonder if it will be on Network TV as I only have basic cable.

I love these things. I sure hope this one works. I just watched that “7 Minutes of Terror” clip. It appears that there are a lot of opportunities for something to go wrong. These guys have been great so far. I hope this works! I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Any chance I can get this moved to Breaking News sometime today?

My theory is that there is life on Mars. It takes the form of a rather large cat. My fear is that the Lander will come down directly on top of the cat. Yes, my fear is that Curiosity may kill the cat.

I'm curious, will Curiosity roll over to the flag that the astronauts planted. If so I'll page Sheila Jackson Lee.

We’ve had a pretty good record when it comes to landing stuff on Mars, but you still cant help but be nervous with those guys.

Here is hoping NASA has a great day. If this works the pictures this sends back should be awesome

Does this rover have an arm for Muslim outreach? Mars is what Earth will look like someday.

BTW, thanks for posting this.
This could possibly turn out to be the most important mission in the history mankind.
Curiosity is all about detecting life, past or present and is very well equipped to do this.

Do any FReepers work at JPL? Can you give us a feeling of the tension level at Mission Control?
If I had written the landing sequence code I would be biting my nails to the quick right about now.

Thanks for the thread. Will be following. I agree with others about the complexity of entry and landing.

Let’s find a martian, abduct him and probe him for a change.
It’s payback time!
