Imagine a room filled with 40 or so geeks looking anxious and breaking out in applause at velocity readings.
When the first pixelated photo arrived showing dark grey, a different grey and a rover wheel people started crying, hugging and high-fiving. A few left the room, I suspect, to go masturbate.
It was all very american and uninformative...

A couple of days before we get the full HD panoramic images, should get an horizon shot before the end of today though.

Sounds strangely similar to CS when there's an Apple press conference.

This is the third rover they have successfully landed on Mars. There have been other landers too but they are static. Not sure how many actually made it but one crashed in 98.
