The interviews they did with the engineers during their stuggles with the various problems involved in putting this whole thing together put a real 'face' on the people I watched last night on CNN awaiting the first signals from the rover.
I can't wait for the next set of pictures, but.......I'll wait until I'm at work (Ether-net) to download large picture files as my home computer connection (Modem) is so sloooooooooooooow.
