        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.

          damn, I can't get it. Apparently: you need to have Directv Plus which requires you to have an oval dish and 2 LNBs so you can pick up the other satellite. If you just have a regular Directv service and a round dish you won't get it.

          So no dice for me. (just have the round dish)

            The cruise stage has separated successfully. 10 minutes until the craft enters the Martian athmosphere.

            I'm so hoping this will be a success.

                      Al Gore is there, and Arnold Swarzenegger as well.

                      • It's amazing, the landing module is still rolling on the surface, 12 minutes after touchdown. Must really be flat in Meridianum Planum.

                        • 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.

                              • Are you going for the record number of multiple posts on one page of a thread, Winston?
