"We are safe on Mars."
Humanity rocks sometimes.
- jc4p 14y agoIt seems like every single person at JPL is teary eyed, this is awesome. Edit: The crowd at Planetary Society started chanting "USA! USA!" and Bill Nye the Science Guy quickly made them change it to "JPL! Planet Earth!" freaking awesome. Edit #2: Every. Single. One. of NASA's websites is offline and overloaded. I know it's a DDoS due to everyone trying to look at the images, but this is really a good example of 'Hey, maybe the company that just landed a fucking spaceship on Mars needs more funding.'
- noonespecial 14y agoThey're already getting pictures. I wasn't born for the moon landing, but this seems almost as cool. Must have been something like this.
- lisper 14y agoThe images are a lot clearer this time around :-)
