Ghastly		2012-08-06 01:55:06 AM

So the rover is gonna get drunk and then experiment with the Viking probe?

sheep snorter		2012-08-06 01:55:27 AM

Science for the win!

Bathia_Mapes		2012-08-06 01:55:29 AM

Stormneedle: Rube would have been proud!

He would have indeed.

Arctic Phoenix		2012-08-06 01:55:36 AM

YAY!

Now we need to get a manned team up there and set up a colony.

rfronk		2012-08-06 01:55:49 AM

Gyrfalcon		2012-08-06 01:56:00 AM

Can we get a link that goes to the NASA feed and not a CNN newsroom? KTHXBY

SpinStopper		2012-08-06 01:56:18 AM

I'm dancing around the room, wearing my temporary NASA badge ;)

Here's NASA's USTREAM feed.

Elvis_Bogart		2012-08-06 01:58:07 AM

Hey, guys...we're all getting laid!

Fat-D		2012-08-06 01:58:14 AM

I laughed, I cried.

This is one of the few things that make me PROUD to be an American.

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier		2012-08-06 01:58:27 AM

It's a soundstage in Area 51.

/Someone has to be that guy

Ladies and gentlemen, Curiosity has been satisfied.

Have they taken any pictures of the flag that the astronauts left?

Any poontang, Houston?

Bathia_Mapes		2012-08-06 02:01:05 AM

timujin: Hah, I get to keep my job AND I got the green! Woohoo!

Hope you don't mind, but I switched the link over to NASA's USTREAM feed.

Congratulations on getting to keep your job too. :-)

IXI Jim IXI		2012-08-06 02:01:20 AM

Doesn't quite know what he did to deserve THAT..."

boomm		2012-08-06 02:01:33 AM

I was sad reading the PBS wording that clarified the 'ET' in 1:32 ET stood for "Earth Time"

BSABSVR		2012-08-06 02:02:05 AM

fragMasterFlash: Good heavens Ms. Sakamoto, you're beautiful!

Is she the NASA anchor person? She looks like she fell out of 1982 for some reason.

cptjeff		2012-08-06 02:02:07 AM

Ghastly: So the rover is gonna get drunk and then experiment with the Viking probe?

Wouldn't that qualify as necrophilia?

atomicpile		2012-08-06 02:02:16 AM

I still can't get over the fact that pictures were taken by a rover roughly 34 million miles away, relayed through another satellite and a series of antenna arrays, and I can ALREADY LOAD THEM ON MY HOME COMPUTER LESS THAN 30 MINUTES LATER.

lohphat		2012-08-06 02:02:35 AM

Arctic Phoenix: YAY!

Well. About that.

Since Mars has a much smaller iron core than Earth, there's a very weak magnetic field and a weak van Allen belt system protecting the surface and atmosphere from radiation.

The atmosphere is being stripped away by the solar wind over time. Life on Earth wouldn't be possible if we didn't have that shield.

Thanks iron core!
