Honestly, I'm surprised those took so long to be posted here. The video has been on NASA's stream for over 12 hours.

I was confused about the viewpoint until I remembered that the metal dome flying away at the beginning is the heat shield.

OMG MARS IS RED

Err....orange, actually. Reminds me of the Simpson Desert.



EDIT: Not to be outdone by Curiosity, Gale Crater now has its own Twitter feed.  :P

Dear Probe, please watch out for Chryssalids. There better not be any there when I sign up for my Mars-house with a Mars-white picket Mars-fence.

I'm just hoping they remembered to equip it with an external speaker and a recording of Slim Whitman.

With all respect to any potential scientific discoveries, I'm still saving my amazement for the manned mission to the Moon or Mars (which very likely won't be American).

So what if we discover hard evidence of life? Think NASA will get a fund boost?

It will depend on how they word it.
