The tweet from MarsCuriosity: "I'm safely on the surface of Mars. GALE CRATER I AM IN YOU!!!"
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Back to bed, try to sleep now.
Thank you, Mars, for letting us put another spaceship on you!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm ashamed to know nothing about Mars, but I do know that's P&R, as -t said.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. From Jalopnik's liveblog of the landing: "This is great: according to Miles O'Brien, the holes in Curiosity's wheels spell "JPL" in morse code. This is especially great because NASA made JPL take their name off the treads earlier. Ha ha! Showed them!"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm all wound up from the Mars landing. That was way better than the Olympic vaulting!

Vortex beat me to my response.
Just watched an ad for Dr Emily Something, MD
Was she blonde? That might have been the one with one of Meryl Streep's daughters.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
No. I do not know the Mohawk Guy.
Heh.
Maybe lori does.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I fell asleep before the rover landed, but now I'm looking at Mars pictures and thinking that I should go back to school and get a degree in engineering and work on building things that go to Mars. I'm really not awake enough yet to evaluate whether this is actually a good idea or not.

I woke up to NPR's first run of the rover coverage. I still can't believe it worked. When lori first described it to me, there was some hysterical laughter and a lot of 'no, REALLY?!!' from me.
Alrighty, unto the day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aw, I'm sad I missed the MSL watch-n-post! In my defense, it was really goddamn late on the East Coast. But hooray Curiosity!
