Low horizon pass this time around for Odyssey, expected to be a low volume data pass.
Expected to receive health data and new pictures with dust covers removed.

From the animation they showed the other day, it looks like a simple electrical motor. The cap doesn't detach from the rover but hangs down.

Heard them mention pyros.
Also currently confirming that the whole first day on surface is running on a script, like EDL.

Amazing
Intense
Superb
...and inspiring.
I would guess that some person who watched this, WILL walk on Mars.
Of course my thoughts go to the team at SpaceX, and I wish them,
and all who follow Curiosity to Mars...
godspeed

I haven't heard any statements from the Prez. I wonder if he's awake and watching it or if he's sleeping...

Rear hazcam: some dust on lens but otherwise alright and survived pyro event. A ridge on the horizon (crater rim?), looking into sun causing some saturation on the image.

Our knowledge of Mars will now far surpass our knowledge of the other planets. We need in-situ missions on Venus, rovers on Titan, submarine explorer on Europa, orbiters on Neptune, and orbiters on Uranus!
