    Indeed.

    It looks as if though the first images are a couple of hours away or so (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ph...ngevents.html).

    It would be one hell of a shiny polar bear; my bets are on the back shield or the parachute.

    Too bad they couldn't get a video of the landing. That would have been great.

    Yeah.

    It might have been possible if Spirit or Opportunity were in position (they have high-def cameras as part of their arsenal) but they've got their own missions/problems right now.
