    Ah thanks. Can't wait to see this.


    Nerd alert: It has always been my dream to one day walk on Mars.

    In retrospect, this is a funny post.

    Excited about the landing tonight. Hopefully it goes well.

    Holy crap that sounds complicated!

    Hopefully someone suspended Murphy's Law for this particular date.

    Way too many things can so easily go wrong.

    If they pull this off, wow.

    This is legitimately exciting. I have a hard time seeing that thing pulling off all the crazy sh-t it's supposed to in order to land.

    Damn, I had no idea just how big this rover was compared to the ones of the past!
