Tonight, NASA's Curiosity rover touches down on Mars - Polidicks

Imagine if it finds ancient reef structure in a dry riverbed. shit...

This is like the moon landing but more exciting because it's real.

[B]We choose to go to Mars. We choose to go to Mars in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.[/B]

Those peanuts did it again. Good job peanuts, the true american spirit.

that was awesome, now it's just a room of nerdes huggin

Did anyone else get goosebumps? This is amazing.

That shit was real yo

I'm telling a bunch of my friends about it and they're like "whatevs". Makes me want to strangle them.

Boy Curiosity's new home could use a little sweeping

Me and my dads eyes were glued to the laptop watching her come down, before we know it mission control freaks the fuck out and HOLY SHIT IT WORKED!

I feel that no one actually understands how big this is.

I FRAPS'd the entire thing so in a few years when they're doing the mission that builds off of this, I can remember this

My friend in SpaceX says they should be able to do this in a couple years.

I'm safely on the surface of Mars. GALE CRATER I AM IN YOU!!! #MSL @MarsCuriosity you can be in me too curiosity

[QUOTE=Parakon;37100560]that was awesome, now it's just a room of nerdes huggin[/QUOTE] Those "nerds" just accomplished more than what most of us will EVER do in our lifetimes. They're entitled to the celebration.

Mohawk man was all teary-eyed and gave old bald man a hug. d'aww.

The shadow of a rover on a piece of Mars that has never seen an artificial shadow before. Fuck yeah, WE DID THAT!

I bet everyone in there is a professional hugger/clapping expert by now
