Anyone else landing on Mars tomorrow?

Spirit lands tomorrow at 11:35 EST.

NASA gave every American the opportunity to place their names onto a DVD attached to the two landers. I have mine and my son's. About 3 1/2 Million people are on the DVD's.

The second lander Opportunity lands on January 24. That one has a backup DVD in case the first lander doesn't make it.

You can see Mars coming into view from the camera on Spirit on this link.

Here's a pic of the DVD with everyone's names on it placed onto the rover.

Pretty cool feeling, never been on Mars before.
