    Air chute deployed. Looking good so far. This really is the 7 minutes of terror.

    Hopefully the Martians don't attack now that we've landed.

    That is some truly amazing engineering that NASA put on. What an unbelievably crazy Entry Descent and Landing sequence, and they executed it flawlessly. There are some truly bad ass geeks and geniuses at NASA.

    Now waiting for pics of J'onn J'onzz. Hehe.

    So awesome! Hopefully this re-creates an interest in the American space program!
