Mars probe landing today...

At least I hope it's landing. It would be a shame for another one of these to simply crash. You should check out the article and the video presentation in this news article. It's pretty incredible stuff!

Maybe I can get on a mission to Mars if they need a minister.

UPDATE: It landed!

UPDATE 2: More pictures.

UPDATE 3: My dad also sent me a link to this article with a picture of the probe during its parachute descent as seen by one of our Mars orbiters.
