LOL. People do care. The Curiosity websites have been crashed. Time for a drink.
I’m glad that there are many people still interested in this stuff.
I sent up a little embedded systems guys prayer as the craft was landing...lol. I have sent up many others before as some project I had built was getting its first smoke test.
I’m just so happy for those engineers! Many had tears streaming down their face...I admit to a few here as I cheered for them.
I just love this kind of stuff... I wish I had been able to work on the control systems on board the craft! Oh what joy that would have been :-)
I can now sleep soundly knowing it’s on the ground.
I thought that too, but I don’t do alcohol so I grabbed a glass of Hawaiian Punch and almost dropped the glass on the floor. I am still shaking and excited and not even oscama could ruin this. For once. G-d bless the USA!
