I was at the vet with my dog (inoculations, not an emergency) when this was taking place, so I'm catching up tonight!

BBC posted several good ones today, so we're getting good international exposure.
I was all hyped up about the landing and slept through all of it, so I'm catching up like you!
From on the way down:

Hoping to go through the NASA and JPL web sites tonight!

(255,679 posts)3. I find this mission amazing and fascinating, thanks for the post!
And I've found our space missions fascinating since I was a kid in elementary school when they brought a TV into the classroom so we could watch - which of course was a huge deal!
