The g+ stream is sooo much more interesting.

[Scelly9]

Damn, my mother swears she knows him. This is possible since she used to work on the shuttles.

[Karlito]

The g+ stream is sooo much more interesting.

And of course I can't get it to load.
 
Oh here it goes.

[MaximumZero]

The silence in the control room is sort of eerie.

[Scelly9]

The g+ stream is sooo much more interesting.

Why?

[alway]

The g+ stream is sooo much more interesting.

Why?

Well, it actually has stuff in it which isn't silent video of people staring at computers. Bunch of scientists & bloggers hanging out and having discussions about space stuff.

Note that NASA has a second stream that is more interesting.

Ah, okay. *opens all 3*

Oh, I'm looking at one like that too.

1 hour left!

Haha, that's awesome. NASA didn't want JPL's name on the rover, so they designed the wheel treads to have holes which would spell out 'JPL' in morse code. So as Curiosity goes across the surface of Mars, it will be writing 'JPL' on mars over and over again. Win.

[Hubris Incalculable]

Cool, the Control room feed has been switched to a sim of the lander.

Oh, it switched back.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

1 hour left!

That's my line!

ONE HOUR REMAINS UNTIL LANDING

Also, Odyssey is currently turning as to communicate with Curiosity. It will be sending real-time telemetry of the landing, assuming nothing goes wrong.

SQUEE
I did a year and a half long project a couple years ago. What we did was take high-resolution images of mars' surface and counted the craters to determine the relative age against other areas. We ended up determining that Olympus Mons was slightly younger than Elysium. We also got to determine our own coordinates to have the satellite take a picture for us.

[Mageziya]

Break open the peanuts, I chuckled at that.
BUT ANYWAY! SPAAAAAAAAAACE, errr, I mean MAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!
