Seeing the engineers and scientists celebrating the successful landing was one the best things I've seen in a LONG while. Very live affirming and inspiring to me!
- BurningFrog 6y agoIs part of the joy that they now have secure jobs for years to come?
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the engineers who worked on EDL move on to other projects in the coming weeks
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI think it's mostly the joy that their past decade or two of work wasn't wasted.
- jaegerpicker 6y agoMaybe but for me I think it would the joy of completing such a massive task so well. They literally just achieved something that no one else in history has.
- acomjean 6y agoIt is the fifth rover... But still super impressive feat, with years of detailed planning. I boogles my mind thinking about all the bits of engineering put together to make this happen. I can’t wait to see what it sends back. Always celebrate your successes.
- soheil 6y agoMost common assumption by outsiders is that they're happy that their many years of effort came to fruition, but I think a big part of is that they will be working on this mission for the foreseeable future as you point out. They get to tell their kids I worked on this mission, it was successful and then we made the rover do X, Y and Z in the next few years.
