I hate to sound like the ungrateful beggar in the Life of Brian, but I like this one so much that I took the liberty of creating a 1680 x 1050 for the monitor I now use at home so I wouldn't have to ruin the image with a stretch. (But Astro0 will tell you I've done worse things to his artwork before.)
So if anyone else wants it, (along with a right-aligned version for people like me with cluttered desktops) heretis: -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Does anyone have a link to YouTube/elsewhere footage of Spirit's landing? You know, the NASA TV coverage at the time? Can't find any.

On YouTube, "Mars: Two for Two" and the Nova episode "Mars: Dead or Alive" have good edits of NASA footage. (I'm assuming you mean in the control center.) The Nova episode is a riveting account of the mission and what the team surmounted to fly.

The 5th part of the Nova documentary still brings that naughty tear into my eyes...it even has bagpipes for goodness sake...

There's always this very cheerful beginning of the mission: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E2zwDYf_c4...feature=related
