Bump.
A little over an hour away from expected entry and landing of Opportunity.
Tune in to NASA TV or view live video and commentary at NASA TV using RealPlayer.
5 minutes ago, the vehicle succesfully completed a manoeuvre to turn itself around, preparing for the entry at the correct angle.

Ok, there's a press conference in 45 minutes. Everything seems to have gone according to plan, which is really extraordinary when you think about it. The procedure used for landing these rovers is just so incredibly intricate and complicated, yet they've managed to do it twice. It really bodes well for future missions to Mars, as opposed to the many many failures we've seen in the past.
Great show tonight.
