and all nerds rejoiced.

I think this is neat but holy hand grenade, what a collection of folks. Ear rings, frohawks, hippies, four photographers, three cameramen, and their own on scene reporter... what a circus.

What kind of an arse are you that you can not rejoice in the achievements of the best in space on this planet!  Seriously, this is huge and the ability to land a rover of that size on the planet near to target is unreal and highlights the abilities of America and it's partners in this endeavor.

Very awesome display of our ingenuity, resilience, research, and fortitude to put that rover where it sits.  Let's all hope it can bring home a serious amount of helpful data.

Calm down guys, sheesh. It is neat. It is a great achievement. I mean we now have another unmanned vehicle on different planet that had to travel a great distance and use an incredibly complex reentry process. Maybe now that it has landed they can concentrate on getting a vehicle designed to take our own astronauts to the space station. Put those brilliant minds right back to work.
