They were cheering in the control room several minutes ago. So apparently it has landed... Right on top of Opportunity! The b***ards!!!

Leave it to the Europeans to stomp on Opportunity any chance they get.

Shouldn’t the headline read, “Suspense on Earth” or are the Martians all in a twitter over it?

The suspense is on Earth, waiting for a signal from the Mars lander.
I mourn for the English language because of the way “professional” writers and editors murder it.

Suspense on Mars as Europe Awaits Signal from Lander I highly doubt that there is anyone on Mars to feel any suspense.

Shouldnt the headline read, Suspense on Earth or are the Martians all in a twitter over it? I checked the Martians' Twitter web site but I can't speak or understand Martian.

Stop this nonsense.
NASA and its European counterpart are nothing but propaganda agencies. All of their news is fake.
Here is a simple premise and a simple proof.
Premise: The earth does not move.
Proof: Fire up any professional gyroscopic navigation system on any grounded, stationary aircraft, anywhere on earth.
Wait for it to settle - about 5 to 10 minutes.
Observe its readings.
Leave it completely undisturbed.
Come back to it any time during the following 24 hours.
You will find that its readings remained unchanged.
If the earth WERE moving, the readings would be constantly changing.
However, you will find that the readings DO NOT change.
Ergo, the earth IS NOT moving.

wanted to land.

Now look at the overlap: Opportunity's location vs. the Schiaparelli landing site.
