Raddamant		2012-08-06 01:41:47 AM

Not often I'm proud to be part of humanity, but this... this is good. God damn this is awesome. Good thing I'm not going to work tomorrow, because it is now time to commence drinking.

Theonceovertwice		2012-08-06 01:41:48 AM

SWEET!

libranoelrose		2012-08-06 01:41:51 AM

Which nerd just yelled "Holy Shiat!"

jack21221		2012-08-06 01:41:54 AM

Lol, just heard a "HOLY SHIAT" from one of them.

rfenster		2012-08-06 01:41:55 AM

I didn't realize that Larry David was working for NASA on the Curiosity project.

Good job Larry!

spin359		2012-08-06 01:41:56 AM

LOL at holy shiat being yelled

TheManofPA		2012-08-06 01:41:56 AM

I still remember doing decision making research on the JPL lab back when Spirit/Opportunity first landed (undergrad way back then). They would hope for it to work for one week, then the next, then 90 days was the dream. Those damn rovers followed me from finishing through grad to prof. I can only hope this little guy does the same.

Props to the guy who just yelled "holy shiat"

The Bestest		2012-08-06 01:41:59 AM

lol.. someone dropped a "holy shiat!"

Any Pie Left		2012-08-06 01:42:00 AM

I'm happy. Hope you're happy too...

Foaming		2012-08-06 01:42:03 AM

"Holy shiat!"

indeed

VRaptor117		2012-08-06 01:42:03 AM

What's the closest bar/strip club to JPL? I bet that place is going to be jumpin' tonight.

rf134a		2012-08-06 01:42:04 AM

Can you say "holy shiat!" on livestream TV? How much will the FCC fine NASA?

hartman5000		2012-08-06 01:42:04 AM

"Holy Sh*t" indeed, sir.

GielZwerg		2012-08-06 01:42:12 AM

"Holy shiat!"

Dawgsmack		2012-08-06 01:42:15 AM

Happy nerds!

El Pelon		2012-08-06 01:42:17 AM

Someone just screamed out "HOLY shiat!!!"

Ranger677		2012-08-06 01:42:21 AM

That explains it. They had a kid in control to handle everything.

Gwendolyn		2012-08-06 01:42:27 AM

This is awesome but every time I see the Martian landscape from these rovers it looks like a flat piece of desert. I keep expecting something really alien looking not Arizona-ish.

lol someone just said shiat.

unlikely		2012-08-06 01:42:28 AM

I'm very happy.

Thanks for the running commentary, all. And good night.

Relatively Obscure		2012-08-06 01:42:32 AM

Just popping back in to go WHOOOOOO!

Ahem.

That is all.

that bosnian sniper		2012-08-06 01:42:35 AM

whatshisname: They seem surprised, like "Holy shiat, that crazy idea actually worked?"

I swear to god one guy on the live stream from the control room actually said that.

fisker		2012-08-06 01:42:38 AM

Republicans are PISSED OFF right now.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Capt. Kirk is smiling!!!

Sorry to do this, but:

Hey GOP, imagine what would happen if you gave them 10X the funding?

It was zero, not the GOP that raped nasa. It was Benson (d) who killed Apollo.

and even Neil deGrasse Tyson calls you an farking idiot
Who's More Pro-Science, Republicans or Democrats? - Neil deGrasse Tyson

So seriously, FARK you all to hell.. May you and all you hold dear DIAF.

Don't act tough unless you're willing to back it up, peaches. And we all know you aren't

SpikeStrip		2012-08-06 01:42:56 AM

did they remember to replace the headlamps?

Flying Lasagna Monster		2012-08-06 01:42:57 AM

I admit it, I cried like a biatch.

phrawgh		2012-08-06 01:43:01 AM

I was sort of hoping it wouldn't make it.

This success will only serve to reinforce their irrational belief in Magic Penis.

shiattynick		2012-08-06 01:43:01 AM

Little green men for EVERYONE!

Outshined_One		2012-08-06 01:43:01 AM

Watch out for snakes!

Big Man On Campus		2012-08-06 01:43:05 AM

ok we're well beyond the awkward stage of hugging. Now if you're still hugging you're clearly hugging people you don't like.

LoneDoggie		2012-08-06 01:43:05 AM

at it's base level, a bunch of animals took a bunch of dirt of of the ground, baked it, sorted it, assembeled it and threw it all the way to another planet where it could send pictures back.

Insects, you are cordially invited to suck our collective human dick tonight.

BlameBush		2012-08-06 01:43:08 AM

whole lotta huggin goin on. Damn that's a touchy feely bunch. Nice job though. Came down within a minute or two of scheduled touchdown. Nerds win again.

TommyymmoT		2012-08-06 01:43:11 AM

Meanwhile, some Martian is looking up in the sky, wondering what the hell just landed on his lawn.

ThisIsNotSubtle		2012-08-06 01:43:12 AM

Hell, now I want one of those goofy damned shirts.

wspguy		2012-08-06 01:43:13 AM

That room is 90% white and 80% male

libranoelrose		2012-08-06 01:43:19 AM

GielZwerg		2012-08-06 01:43:32 AM

Just shook Buzz Aldrin's hand yesterday so i'm really getting a kick

flamingboar		2012-08-06 01:43:34 AM

I hope there is some way I can watch it land. Being at work sucks :(
