Okay, here it is 11:24 PM, and the Curiosity rover is landing on Mars in about an hour. I'm watching the proceeds on NASA TV. Holy crap, I can't wait 
Anyone else watching this?
After Curiosity has landed safely (I hope  ), this thread is for general discussion of the mission.

I can't imagine the stress the mission scientists are under right now

A lot of them probably are essential for when the rover touches down and begins the mission, and are simply present for the entry.

The most amusing thing, in my opinion, was seeing my entire Xbox Live friends list in "Live Event Player".

Clearly, tomorrow we will find a shattered husk of a Reaper atop the Prothean Archives.

Bah, they had to make it look realistic, can't have people doubting this like they did the fake moon landing.

Coast to Coast AM is doing a full show about the landing, complete with running commentary from science advisor Richard C. Hoagland. There are many radio stations around the country that play it, or you can sign up on their website and listen without hearing any commercials. I personally believe that this will be a big step closer to eventual disclosure, and revelation of the real Human space program. (Sorry NASA...)
