Congratulations to everyone at NASA-JPL (and the contractors)!
Thanks to NSL we were able to see Curiosity assembled, packed and launched. We saw the deployment of the cruise stage from the perspective of the TMI stage. We could check in to the JPL site onroute and see the progress of MSL on a schematic. On NASA Live we witnessed the successful landing event and cheers. And the first images. Then some of us went back to bed and here we are the next morning waiting for some great descent images at an upcoming press conference. Thanks Chris for your great website--it ties everything together along with a lot of bonuses along the way.
Amen to this comment. NASASpaceflight is the first source I turn to for authoritative information regarding spaceflight, not just for the excellent journalism, but for the insightful comments of the membership. Great job covering this historic event!
You're both very kind, although our growing community is actually making it easier to run this site. Last night was a very good example of that:
Chris G - who's one hell of a talented writer - with the main article.
Some of our more regular members automatically keeping the update coverage high on both frequency and quality.
Members who don't usually get involved with live coverage joining in and working out the format for "info and screenshots", taking some of the load off the more frequent updaters.
All members working out the difference between an update thread and other threads during the main events - keeping the mod work low. I actually got to sit back for 30 seconds and just watch that "wheels on Mars" confirmation (which helped as I couldn't type due to shaky hands!

) as I knew no one would be waiting for me to post it!
Also - and I go on about this but it's still less than 0.1 percent of the visitors to this site - the continued L2 member support. The very reason we still have a site that survived past 2006. Their support pays for the high power servers we have, that ensured we did not have a second of downtime during a VERY high visitation rate. (Without people joining L2, we'd never be able to afford the hosting package that costs.....well, I think we literally keep someone in a job in Dallas!

)
Can you imagine if this was just a news site? It'd be 100 times cheaper to run (due to the bandwidth the forum eats), but this interactive community really does show its strength during such massive events, and it provides a record. I see people going through the live threads for STS-XXX, years later. I can image there will be people going through last night's thread in 10 years time.
So don't thank me, thank yourselves!
