So Curiosity landed on Mars safely. The whole tone of it. With it's superparchute and a jetpack crane. no wonder everyone in mission control just went crazy from joy.

We got a photo form Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter watching it descend (isn't it awesome that we have enough artificial satellites around Mars to get photos like that?)


And it turns out it took photos all the way down (like you're bound to do when you are falling down from space)


It also already sent the first photos from the ground (and look at that mount it's going to climb)
