Mars Landing

[dbgtz]

I wonder how many cats have died...

Anyway it will be interesting to see what they actually find from this.

I never knew about this til today either

AW YAY. I came on thinking, here come the insults and crap about how this isn't news and is pointless but yay.

I can't wait for the high-res colours to come out later!

Oh I saw something about this on a site 2/3 days ago but battered an eyelid to it haha. But now I've read the full thing yeah, seems quite interesting to see what they discover . Although I generally care very little about anything to do with space (minusing a few things).

Did anyone else watch the HORIZON thing about this on BBC like a week ago? Was quite interesting

Great that it landed successfully, there were so many things that could have gone wrong!

Imagine crashing that... 2.3bn down the drain.

2.3bn Geez, not surprised as that's some amazing tech there anyway.

Not really interested in this stuff but I think it's brilliant that they have managed this, I wonder what else they can dig up!

It is news, it's strange no-one mentioned it last night If anything you've opened up what could be a good discussion, so kudos for that

It's amazing how many things could of gone wrong. They're either very clever or incredibly lucky. The picture they got back of the ground and the wheel of the machine is amazing! Apparently that's not even a high-res picture, the colour ones are yet to come through.

From a satellite:

President Obama has called on Nasa to put a man on Mars by the 2030s

Maybe if he didn't cut the funding then this would be feasible... :rolleyes:...

"President Barack Obama has proposed keeping the agency’s overall budget at $17.7 billion for next year but decreasing NASA’s Mars exploration program budget from $587 million to $360 million next year.

I posted about this Mars rover when it was launched last year. It looks like the time has finally come, @GommeInc; Very happy it was successful.
