Curiosity Landed Safely on Mars!

[coolohoh]

Yes, this is late news i know, but i think its of enough importance that i should post here.

I actually by some miracle (actually, it was twitter who alerted me to the landing time) followed the rover landing through the NASA live webcast and saw the tiny pictures that got mailed back through odyssey.

There's actually truckloads of information regarding the MSL (Mars Science Laboratory) on the NASA webpage.

This is the one of the 1st pic taken by the rover. (All pictures are credit of NASA/JPL-Caltech)

Here's another, can see the shadow of the rover here

There's a ton of video and other stuff to read on the NASA webpage, do take a look. A whole bunch of videos available on youtube too...
