Star Struck

Quote: “This is just insane. The Internet is still totally exploding over what happened…” Rather than try to recap everything, I’m just going to point you to the two best web sources: the Curiosity site itself, and Emily Lakdawalla’s blog, the best source of information about solar system spacecraft there is. One note: there is a low-resolution “movie” of the last few minutes of the descent. Once communications gear up to faster data transfer rates, there will be a 4.5 frames per second HD movie of this. Marvels abound!
