I had never heard of this before tonight, but that was pretty sweet to "watch".

This feels like a movie... waiting for the tense moment when it is either blown up by an alien or an alien is seen running across the screen.

Launch a device using a rocket at a moving target 225 million km's away, slow down from 14000 km per hour to .75 meters per second while executing a 5 stage landing process.
God damn awesome NASA.

That was very neat to watch. Thanks for giving the heads-up!
Kind of weirds me out that a robot made by man just landed on Mars a few minutes ago after getting launched from Earth. Awesome!

That was so amazing, I'm in awe. Neil deGrasse Tyson had a great tweet yesterday:

Amazing and inspiring.
I loved watching all the NASA nerds in the control room yelling "the 256!!! the 256!!!"
