Mars probe has successfully landed on the planet Mars with the largest lander ever.
WTG NASA and USA!
-
This is truly unreal footage!

Awesome, a Martian sunrise over the wheel! WTFG peeps, wtfg!

WTFG!!!!!!!!!! :rock

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.

did you see the mothership in that one picture :noid

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.

Prejudice at its finest.. These guys are amazing no matter what they look like. Way to go NASA!
-
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.

Looks don't dictate the brain inside the skull. Ever heard of don't judge a book by it's cover?

That applies to everyone but hippies. Dirty nasty hippies we hates them don't we precious.
:old:

Yay! We just sent Billions of dollars of RC car to Mars. :x
Been there done that. :headscratch:
Looking for life elsewhere I guess they gave up on this planet. :rolleyes:

Does anyone have links to pics or videos? I was unable to stay up and watch it.

Simply amazing up to this point.
-
Outstanding job! :banana:
:aok
-
well done USA, I watched it live and I can't imagine the work that all those guys put in to make that happen.
I still think we need to build the escalator and moon base as top priorities but this mission makes all the small things seem irrelevant. I just hope we can keep going and do so much more in my life time. :cheers:

WTG HUMANS!
Fixed :)

I know someone who has worked on that project.... WTG!!... it may be an 'RC' craft made by 'hippies' :rolleyes: (with PHD degrees, btw), but I know none of you naysayers could accomplish the same. Its a huge accomplishment, congrats NASA!

They didn't do it by themselves they did it with BILLIONS in tax revenue from most of us in the United States. Sure it's an accomplishment, but the price was too high for the return we get in my book, particularly since they have done something similar before. I watched it land last night half hoping for a failure so congress would have another excuse to slash NASA's budget. Giving them a blank check was fine and dandy when we were out to 1up the soviets, but lately I'd say the money could've been better spent.

you won't be saying that when the Chinese are all super dooper and takeover space whilst your still worrying about your hard earns.

You couldn't do it even with the US govs money.... oh, for the record, and countries & businesses can't 'save' themselves into prosperity... This was an investment in technology, and time will only tell what the commercial/economical returns will be.
WTFG!!! this is progress for mankind!

I know right? We could have used all that money to save the starving children in Ethiopia and sent care bears to terrorists. Scientific exploration, conquest, and advancement. What a waste of time!

He was channeling the president, I know. Nobody ever achieves anything or deserves credit for doing well since it's all handed to them by publicly funded services. We get it. Now drop it before skuzzy bans us :aok

'the chinaman is not the issue here'
If anyone really believes China has any hope of accomplishing *anything* in space, I got a bridge I'd like to sell you. Just youtube some of those chinese rocket launches, highest death toll of any space program to date.
But I still say the money could've been better spent. While NASA still blows millions on crap like this, the US supercollider that was going to be built in Texas back in the 90's that would've found the higgs boson a heck of a lot sooner then got canned. And here we are almost 20 years later and it's discovered... in Europe. But in my book that's the greatest scientific achievement of the year, perhaps the past decade, not some RC car taking 64x64 thumbnails of rust pebbles.

China has one of the largest submerged satellite programs around.

Wow. Incredible.

Oh Hpriller, oh so short sighted. In my understanding it is the process to accomplish things like this that is really just as important if not more than the specific mission goals themselves. It proves we can accomish things with a high level of accuracy in an environment with multiple variable changes. This is an improvement to our space IQ.

NDT has to easily be one of my favorite scientific minds, and he does not mess around.

The Chinese are not super dooper :old:
They have the investment to pursue space projects :old:
WHERE does this financial ability come from? Western capital that has poured in to China over the past 25 years :rofl
It is not a us and them scenario anyway, the Chinese can pursue these projects and everyone can use the knowledge gained :)
By the way China is dependant on US trade and Imports, Obama told them last year to get into line, they are tied to the world financial system now :rofl
Investment does not stop anywhere it is just investment elsewhere :) at present its third world countries for better returns.
India for gods sake launched a space rocket and 95% of the population live in poverty :)
In 30 years time they will be a base on Mars developed by Kenya. :)
