That is just incredible to watch.
Touchdown confirmed!
Touchdown.I was worried about that guy, he looked like a heart attack risk 
That was fun
I always get a bit emotional watching stuff like this - it just blows my mind.
How tense was that? Now find something interesting!
Great stuff!
They should honestly start getting them some better cameras.
These are the navigation cams, it has about 20 more on board.
That was awesome, I cheered when it landed and woke my girlfriend up.
Exciting that it paves the way for a return mission to bring back samples.
Must be such an awesome job designing these machines.

Should have glued Christopher Nolan to it with an IMAX camera
Hanz Zimmer cello taped on the other side doing some mad soundtracks
There’s a Zimmer soundtrack on this podcast about the moon landing and it’s awesome.

Definitely, it was all very exciting. And you can't help but feel delighted for them when you see the celebrations.
Incredible, just amazing! Watched in suspense.
Cheers buddy
The Arecibo Observatory Platform Has Collapsed
https://www.universetoday.com/149029/the-arecibo-observatory-platform-has-collapsed/
"Early this morning, the 900-ton instrument platform suspended above the Arecibo Observatory collapsed and crashed down on the iconic telescope’s giant dish. The collapse occurred at about 7:55 a.m. local time, officially ending any possible hopes of refurbishing the famous observatory in Puerto Rico."
Visited here a few years ago. The drive through the mountains was a story in and of itself.
Blows my mind that we can actually see pictures of another planet like this. Fecking mental.
There's also 3 microchips on the rover in a plaque that have been inscribed with 10,000,000 names of people from Earth that signed up about a year ago. Crazy to think my name is on a lasting record which is now on another world.
Can't believe we put a fecking helicopter on Mars
Kinda looks like Death Valley, eh?
Most of the pics look like random places in Arizona.
It’s no coincidence that the Apollo Astronauts practiced inside the meteor crater near Flagstaff prior to going to the moon.
Whenever I think about space I can’t help thinking that it should just scale itself down a bit. Too big.
I felt that way when driving through France
Couldn't agree more. A genuine waste of space.
The sound is truly creepy.
Correct, you literally cannot trust anything these days.
Pretty sure the atmosphere on Mars is so thin anyway that you would hardly be able to hear any wind, if at all.
I am eager to find out . I read it has these dust tornadoes, but probably the rover is trained to GTF-O in case it spots one.
More than tornadoes. Planet wide dust storms!
Just like Texas.
windy!
Is it as windy as Anfield?
Is that video with audio from Mars real?
Nope
