    We do live in an amazing age of discovery and technology, it is just a pity that we have yet to develop true eunomia and isonomia in society as the Ancient Greeks sought (yes both a Marxist lament and an attempt to keep this thread mildly EB orientated so it's not closed).

    JPL isn't too far from where I live. But I believe the live landing feed was early in the morning. Too early. I wasn't planning on losing sleep over it, but I read up on it this morning. It's some exciting news and I'm looking forward to some great pics (more interested in the art, but I'm sure the team is eager for scientific findings).

    Exactly my case vartan.
    All this technology behind it and the Mars probe will do less than 20km, iirc, in around 1-2 year(s)...

    Now that's speed.

    That's pretty fast compared to some living organisms, such as the snail. I was wondering how I could ask questions related to both EB and to the topic we're discussing. Two things came to mind. First, if this thread is called touchdown, how do you think ancient factions (those in EB) would react to American football? Which factions would be dynastic champions? Second, what if these factions came across Curiosity? What would they think of it? What would they think of any electronic devices?
