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.

Been there...done that...distinct lack of decent hotels.

the DVD thing is very funny

I hope it doesnt get scratched

some idiot was trying to tell me a man was landing on mars, :1orglaugh he even had the nerve to argue with me trying to convince me it was a manned mission,

it had to be the stupidest conversation i have had in my life, where on earth do these complete idiots get this info from?

LOL Knowing the Federal Government they probably forgot to burn the names on there and attached blank dvds.

:1orglaugh
