Presser started with Mike Watkins, Mike Malin, Dawn Sumner, Andy Mishkin, Doug Ellison.

MSL behaves flawlessly, the team too.

New software load starting day after tomorrow. Prepping today.

Checked out a number of instruments(didn't get which ones), all was nominal.

Took first 360 degree panorama in color.

1 cm across for largest particles, possibly 'lighter than expected'.

Curiosity Rover ‏@MarsCuriosity

Area 51? No, Quad 51 is where I landed on Mars. Here's a map of Gale crater. (PS - I come in peace) #MSL http://twitpic.com/ahdtkg
