It's landed in a car park.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Some of the engineers are Texan.

Hell yeah they are, here’s some of them on a previous film, sorry project....

It's quite incredible what humanity can pull off when we put our minds to not being terrible to one another.

 

[Swansman]

The first photos just confirmed what we already know... the planet is shite.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Wow that was fantastic.
Well done NASA really good job.
Look forward to seeing what they can find up there now.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

They found Ulloa’s ball yet?

I find this stuff mind-boggling....dropping the bloody thing, softly, in the spot they planned, in one piece and functioning. Isn't science brilliant ?

 

[scoobiewhite]

That was amazing. It just beggars belief really.

The nasa coverage is so cheesy it’s marvellous.

The eyes.nasa.gov tracking app was really good too.

What an achievement.

All the other " Rovers " who pancaked on landing..... must be like a scrap metal yard up there.

Nothing probably... they've had a few up there before and all they found was dirt and sand. Useless.

They just ended with youngblud doing Bowie and then randomly showed a tweet from Rick Astley.

Why Rick Astley?

Brian May, he’s got a PhD in astrophysics...

What’s Astley got that gets him on the closing credits of one of the greatest space exploration moments of all time?

Was he missing out half the lyrics because he’d forgot them or was that just his artistic interpretation?

Yes but I think this one is kitted out to look specifically for signs of ancient life or"bio-signatures" as NASA called them.
It got better cameras too and a microphone apparently so I can't wait to hear what Mars sounds like.

I thought we had a problem with pot holes

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Are we there yet?

 

[Pavilionaire]

The first pictures have been beamed back - let the Celebrations begin!

Southern are sorry to announce the late arrival to Mars. This was due to staff shortage at Barnham.
