On a light note, has anyone made any plans for 5 August? It is, after all, less than one hundred days away now, and I'm sure Mars is getting very big in the window for ol' Curiosity.
I hope they'll get a webcast going. I'll be frantically clicking on 'refresh' on here come what may!... [MOD NOTE: Topic moved to Chit Chat for obvious reasons.] |

I remain - uh, Curious - about the factor of atmosphere in calculating the trajectory of the landing of MSL. When was the likely atmospheric effect established, and from what data? Because, parachute? On Mars?? Just ask weathermen on earth, that atmosphere can change a lot!
