Just to let you all know what marvelous landing Astro0 managed to pull off at the Canberra DSN tracking station visitor centre ... compared to the Phoenix landing, there was a huge crowd right into the cafeteria, with parking along the street literally into the outback (similar color to Mars, actually, as well). And the press was there 2 hours before EDL, and not 2 hours after as I seem to remember happened at Phoenix. Let's hope this landed spaceflight in the hearts and minds of more Aussies.
