Mission website.

Live feed.

There should be touchdown confirmation at 02:10 CEST! (i.e. in one hour from now). The lander is headed towards the northern polar region of Mars to look for conditions suitable for life and water.

Unfortunately I have to get some sleep :|.


It's just Landed :-)

I watched the live feed from NASA as it happened... Not very interesting really, just a lot of Fat blokes in Blue polo tops hugging and cheering... :-)

I suppose we have to remember that everything we get back from the probe actually happened 15 minutes in the past... a little weird to think about at first...
