We are DOWN, ladies and gentlemen...we are down!!!!
This is the place to talk about it. Congratulations to the MSL team!!!!!!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Do we know what Image data Curiosity will be attempting to upload on the next flyover pass? More hazcams only, or do weexpect to have the mast up and taking pics and ready to send?
