Yahoo!!!

Man, NASA TV live has been pretty cool the last
few minutes.

Let's hope this baby gets deflated and rolls off the lander.

How incredible is it that both Sojourner and Spirit stopped
base-petal down!

And how about listening to a small radio transmitter on mars
from the Earth!

Incredible.

Spirit of Mars is hot stuff. Great job. Lets put a MINI on Mars next.
Learn about how they hit their target within a few hundred feet after 300 million miles of travel.

So much for the theory of little green men on Mars...looks pretty deserted to me.

There's a sticker on the back of one of the rover's navigation cameras.
Isn't this the most thoughtful thing?
