[QUOTE=Pelf;37106775]Snip[/QUOTE] then I snip as well
The image of it parachuting blows my mind. Pretty incredible how they positioned an orbiting satellite so precisely. I'm an Engineer, ask me anything.

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;37107106]Are you not bored of your avatar yet, after all this time?[/QUOTE] It's what people recognise, so I don't really want to change it.
Just got back from a trip to Space Center Houston with a friend and my dad to watch the landing, it was pretty darn cool.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;37107152]It's what people recognise, so I don't really want to change it.[/QUOTE] People recognize your title too :D
I mostly go by avatars, so people that change them are just new to me, unless I know them from some thread they usually go to. Also, I've ony seen 2 pictures till now, is there anything else to see besides it? (and the landing video)

So I reposted this one to this page...

NASA should send us to Mars!
Hey, I study electronics, send me too!

Might have some color photos by tomorrow Pretty awesome how we had a picture just a couple minutes after we saw it touch down, even though it sent that photo 15 minutes before

A new photo just rolled in!

[QUOTE=Pelf;37103221]Here's a video of the stream from entry through landing for anyone else who missed it: [video=youtube;763cuUnlbEI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=763cuUnlbEI[/video][/QUOTE] If you were to ask me to sum up humanity in one video this [i]wouldn't[/i] be it. [b]But, damnit, it should be.[/b]
for some reason I thought they'd all be wearing white shirts and black ties while smoking. And when it was a success they all had a shot of whiskey that's the NASA I remember
I don't know if you guys saw, but they found water on mars!!!! [url]https://p.twimg.com/AzlvubZCEAA3ZLC.jpg:large[/url]

I hope they take a 360 degree panoramic once they get the HD cam up. I seriously can't wait! [editline]6th August 2012[/editline] Mohawk man got enough attention to warrant an interview: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlsaLs5DqCo&feature=youtu.be[/media]
