Anyone have the twitter feed they're talking about? Would like to see the thumbnail images directly rather than video of them.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

I go, I watch, I come back and the thread has moved four (probably five by the time I'm done typing this) pages. There were a lot of happy monkeys in that room. It is a good thing.

Huzzah!Now I'm just waiting for metal tentacles to explode from the ground after that laser gets fired~

We claim this land in the name of SPEHSS!

Do you have a flag? No flag, no country, that's the rules that I just made up.

Britain, give it back...

Only a couple hundred thousand people were watching the touchdown. What happened to the space race? Every little kid wanting to be an astronaut? Depressing...

There would probably be a lot more watching if it weren't almost 2 AM on the East Coast, on a Sunday night.

There's 4+ million viewers on the stream I was watching.

It might also help if NASA actually had a budget to speak of.

Edit: That was total views, there were only like 210k people watching at the time of landing.
