We were watching the live feed of the Control Room as the craft was descending. They just erupted when the Flight Director said “Touchdown!” That was the culmination of many years of hard work, and thousands of things had to go just right for things to turn out so well. I’m proud of NASA!
No kidding! This is the biggest moment in our space program in decades.
If you aren’t aware, this rover is a mobile lab the size of a small CAR.
The events necessary to land this thing on Mars were nothing short of a technological wonder of the world.
It’s a very, very proud moment for our country and almost no one even knows it’s happening tonight. It’s a tragedy.
