Almost all of NASA's websites have been accidentally DDoS'd by the current frenzy of activity.

Back from watching for a moment!

Stream kept cutting out, so by the time it started descent I was nearly a minute behind. But it was worth it! So far as I can tell, a perfect landing.

We didn't have any peanuts, so I grabbed a jar of mixed nuts instead. Obviously, it worked well enough.

And now, back to watching the stream. Also, my conventional Aurora start began building it's first geosurvey ship, which will be named Curiosity in honor of the rover.

Just noting that this is a picture of the Viking mission, not Curiosity.

Hmm, I can't see the pics. Does it require a special plugin?

Assuming space agencies get the budgets they want and we don't plan to bring anyone back, the most optimistical prediction is somewhere around 2030-2050.

Probably should have mentioned that. I was just holding that up as an example the kind of picture I'm looking forward to be seeing.

According to the g+ stream, Curiosity has a camera capable of 10 fps on it.
