Looks like NASA finally got it right. Congratulations to all of the unsung heroes that made this possible and who will never get public credit for their hard work.

The spacecraft entered Mars' atmosphere at about 7:29 p.m. PST

Those morons at Rueters can't get anything straight.  It happened at 8:30 PST.

I wonder what the overall tendency of this will be, as it relates to the potential NASA budget for the short term future?

Mars colony in our century?
USA owned?
Return to the moon, in force?
What effect will this have on Europe and the rest of the world geopolitically?

Now we'll be able to find out, as the NASA scientist stated on NBC News Friday evening, "if there is liquid water on Mars"

Their not interested in finding gaseous steam or solid ice only liquid water.

This is our tax dollars at work supporting entitlement programs within NASA. I can accept redundancy in the mechanics and safety devices of the vehicles as a necessity. When in it appears in the grammar of the supposed educated scientists who act as their spokespeople, I discover all my questions about the agencies past failures have been answered?

Enjoy it while you can. We're deciding how to prepare this "probe" for dinner.

Send more probes. They're delicious. ;)
