All the NASA websites have crashed except one due to hits from interested folks-good to have great interest in the dead of the morning.

Thankyou NASAS, and all the talented people around the US and the world who had a part in the creation of the MSL Project, you are truly the equals of the people who created Apollo and sent it to the Moon. May your place in history be held with the same reverence for many years to come, such that future generations say, "I want to do great things, just like the Apollo and Mars Science Laboratory did!"

1.4 kg of fuel left onboard
I heard it as 140.6 kg
It was 1.4Kg, can't be 140Kg- too much.

This event was better than any cargo spacecraft visiting a LEO space station. ;-)
Heh. Congrats Jim!
Thanks, now can't go back to sleep

1.56 amps
bus: 32.18V (93% of charge)
1.57 amps
32.2V
(could not confirm data points, but I think those were of the battery bus)
I heard that too I was wondering if that was a bit low.

Agreed. Haven't enjoyed something space related this much for WAY too long.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Patrick Boland, 202-225-3278
Rep. Schiff Cheers Curiosity Landing at JPL Tonight, Renews Call to Fully Fund Mars Program
Pasadena, CA – Tonight, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) released the following statement after the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), known as Curiosity, successfully touched down on Mars and began its extraordinary mission:
"The landing of Curiosity is a remarkable engineering achievement and the culmination of nearly a decade of work by thousands of people here and around the world. In the coming weeks and months, Curiosity will answer many of the vital questions about Mars’ past and whether it ever had conditions suitable for life. But tonight we celebrate the genius of humankind.
“This success must reinvigorate our efforts to restore funding for planetary science and future Mars missions. While we have restored some of the funding –- almost $100 million so far –- much work remains to return the Mars Program to health. Without the certainty of future missions and support, we will find it impossible to maintain the most specialized workforce on earth –- the brilliant engineers and scientists who made this mission possible.”

Totally agree!!
who would disagree? a few moments ago I just happened to have retweeted something from a software engineer at an LEO cargo craft company "what you just did so amazingly dwarfs what (we did) a few months ago. My hat is thoroughly off to all of you."

Yeah, I figured that number was too high. They must have mis-reported it.

That number was prior to flyaway, so remaining fuel had to be used for that function.
