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.
Mamie Gummer?
No. I do not know the Mohawk Guy.
Heh.
Maybe lori does.
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.
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!
You know, the whole sky-crane landing thing is straight out of science fiction, right? (Not that bouncing down with an airbag isn't, but this is even better.)
Laughing over the Mohawk flight controller. That is one attractive dude, no matter what his amusing hair is doing.
For those who stayed up last night: Curiosity
I just offered someone a bottle of wine in exchange for a taxidermied bullfrog playing an upright bass.
I think my day has reached maximum surreality.

Pictures?
