Congratulations to all. Had to jump on while I'm on lunch at work.
An amazing achievement, and everyone at JPL is just going wild. Much deserved.

Fantastic, and congrats to all involved. Was biting my nails there.
Now, let's just hope the rover works as well as its predecessors.

That's simply amazing! I just hope I'll see human beings landed there just as perfect as this one did one day...

Wow! And now I'm supposed to get to sleep?
They have the current location, too. "If anyone is on... you should watch this fly-through." meanwhile, everyone is hugging and kissing everyone.

Wow! amazing! The folks at JPL did an awesome job. I have to admit originally being a little skeptical of the landing scheme, but it appears to have worked perfectly, showing what good work was put into it. Congrats!!!
