Steve gave me a heads up by instant message and I spent two hours at the end of yesterday listening to the landing on Mars live from NASA. I tagged Mel, too. Here is the site for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Get some Tang and food in tubes and follow along.
The photo right is the rear view mirror shot or as NASA describes it
This image taken by the hazard avoidance camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit shows the rover’s rear lander petal and, in the background, the Martian horizon. Spirit took the picture right after successfully landing on the surface of Mars.
I wish I came with a hazard avoidance camera.
