Curiosity lands on Mars tonight, a little after 5. Lots of streams around the web... Could be a mighty expensive disappointment!

Interesting either way though, think the leadup starts around 3 from the nasa site.

[imdying]

Long story short, no, the only people worrying about that are unhinged nutters... probably the same people worried about chemtrails.

Damn it, just when I've been capped. Hopefully my plan gets changed over soon or I'll be watching it on my phone.

I just heard the guy say nominal. I hate that word.

I'm guessing you haven't been enjoying the rest of the dept checks then?

Also, they're pretty smart guys, why shouldn't they use the right word for the situation?

Coz I don't like it.

Goddamn there's a lady on the stream talking about them eating penis... WTF.

[mashman]

I'm going with http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html still small talk atm, but should get better soon. I don't do java so can't see that other link, is it much the same?

[imdying]

Piece of cake eh :D

[mashman]

[willytheekid]

That was pritty awesome :yes:

[PrincessBandit]

I thought they were "boldly" going... guess we'll see the highlights version of it all on the telly tonight. Beam me up!

[oldrider]

But did they really go there????? Or is it another hoax like the moon landings? ..... If you are of that doubtful persuasion! :corn: (Sigh: I saw no dust by the wheel!)

Not really. Be hard to do that from a film set in Nevada.

I believe ducatilover is responsible for the flying motorcycles... although I may have the wrong context :eek:

[Road kill]

I'd piss me self laughing if the last thing that it ever filmed was an aliens foot as it got drop kicked over the horizon.
Now that would be entertainment.:banana:
