You people are amazing, I am excited for all of you, but I am going to sleep. Have fun watching the landing, I hope you find some cool stuff! Looks like a cool landing party….Fraser you are a great host, a natural at it.
Where do the cables go?
The SkyCrane flies away and meets the surface at a safe distance, but where do the cables go? Will Opportunity just drive over them like the hoses at the gas station?
fan ****** tastic! Woke up this morning in the UK, nothing but olympic news on the radio (good though that is) rushed to my PC and whooped when I saw the feeds. What an amazing feat of engineering and what a great boost to planetary exploration.
