1 day and counting

Curiosity.  We have a little under 36 hours to go until touchdown - science willing.  5:31pm tomorrow evening is scheduled touchdown via a Rube-Goldberg-esque procedure, as outlined in the 7 Minutes of Terror.


Special public event happening at Carter Observatory in Wellington:  http://www.kiwispace.org.nz/display/PORTAL/Curiosity+Landing+Tweetup

And of course, you can watch the landing live! On NASA TV.


Bill and Val will probably watch it on the big screen at work, so stay tuned for upfates from the boys
