Pheonix, don't go towards the light!! Come back to us! What're you saying?? Phoenix! Go towards the light! You need it for your solar panels! But that sure was a tense EDL. I was also listening to the live NASA feed; it was so awesome hearing the altitude countdown after it separated from the heatshield and was falling on its own, to hear the increments between announcements decreasing, indicating that it was slowing down properly. Such a perfect descent. |
