Simply fabulous work by everyone at NASA and at JPL for pulling off this absolutely stunning achievement. I don't think the general public will ever TRULY understand the sheer importance of this event unless it logically leads to landing astronauts on the red planet. Let's hope that we see that in our lifetime!! But for now... party on folks!! You've more than earned this triumphant night!!!

I still am stunned that it actually worked, and that it worked with basically NO ERRORS!
I love when they called out a trajectory error of only 5.9 meters (out of 1.5 AU)!
Also, John Holdren has apparently never heard of Venera and Lunakhod.

Do we know how far away the actual landing location is from the target?

Never pass up an opportunity to insult the Russians when they are flying our astronauts to the ISS.

He just said we are the only country that has ever landed a lander on any other planet. He is wrong! The Russians landed on the moon and on Venus.

Yeah well. This guy can't fall any lower in my esteem anyway, so I'll just ignore that blooper...
