"We are safe on Mars." Humanity rocks sometimes.

It seems like every single person at JPL is teary eyed, this is awesome.

Edit: The crowd at Planetary Society started chanting "USA! USA!" and Bill Nye the Science Guy quickly made them change it to "JPL! Planet Earth!" freaking awesome.

Edit #2: Every. Single. One. of NASA's websites is offline and overloaded. I know it's a DDoS due to everyone trying to look at the images, but this is really a good example of 'Hey, maybe the company that just landed a fucking spaceship on Mars needs more funding.'

They're already getting pictures. I wasn't born for the moon landing, but this seems almost as cool. Must have been something like this.

I noticed on the NASA TV schedule that the "Public/Education Channels" have commentary, and that the "Media Channel" has a "Clean Feed with Mission Audio Only". The link given is for the public stream ( http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv ); the media stream is here ( http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-media-channel ) and should be HD as well.

The clean feed is awesome: it is quite funny how banal some of the talk between the engineers really is: people reading out trace logs, complaining about IT problems, asking each other how to open console windows they accidentally closed, asking people to email them estimates, state machine changes...

You don't get the cheering, though...

The images are a lot clearer this time around :-)
