QUOTE (kto @ May 25 2008, 07:59 PM)  0.25 degree tilt? Don't know the significance of it, but I heard someone exclaim: "quarter degree tilt." edit: yeah, that's it! 1/4 degree tilt! |

What with the flatness and the

I think someone must have laid a concrete slab for Phoenix to Land on to get just 0.25 degrees of tilt. No chance of rocks under any of the feet!!!

Now all the excitement is over it’s the long quiet wait till those first images arrive. Its 1:30am here in the UK but there is no going to bed for this space cadet. I couldn’t think of going to bed before I get my first look at Green Valley. Got to see just how flat and featureless it really. God it’s nice to be down

Just wanna confirm - it is 6:43pm PDT that the first images are expected. I have a few friends coming over to check them out and I want to be sure I gave them the right time.
