Good Luck, Curiosity! Wonder if it will be on Network TV as I only have basic cable.

I love these things. I sure hope this one works. I just watched that “7 Minutes of Terror” clip. It appears that there are a lot of opportunities for something to go wrong. These guys have been great so far. I hope this works! I’ve got my fingers crossed.

Any chance I can get this moved to Breaking News sometime today?

My theory is that there is life on Mars. It takes the form of a rather large cat. My fear is that the Lander will come down directly on top of the cat. Yes, my fear is that Curiosity may kill the cat.

I'm curious, will Curiosity roll over to the flag that the astronauts planted. If so I'll page Sheila Jackson Lee.

We’ve had a pretty good record when it comes to landing stuff on Mars, but you still cant help but be nervous with those guys.

Ok, after watching the video on Space.com, I’m not too confident this is going to work out.
It is like trying to land a bullet in space on a banana running at full speed without bruising the skin.
I hope they did some extensive testing for that 2.5 billion dollars.
To: hattend
Here is hoping NASA has a great day. If this works the pictures this sends back should be awesome

This landing is so complex, so many things that have to automatically go right. Very little room for error if that. I feel a little shaky about this one!

What time is the expected landing???
To: hattend
I concur, it should moved to breaking news.
If there is life, microbial other forms and or evidence of past life on Mars, there is a real good chance Curiosity will detect it.
I really hope they pull off the landing.
