Cool.

Great solve! Thanks Kristen!

Fun solve

Enjoyed the puzzle and the landing.

I stayed up until 3am that night, watching the landing and first photos. The NASA team at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena is doing a news brief every day at 10am PDT (Noon CDT, for me), and we saw the first high-resolution photos today. Exciting stuff! I'm so glad we get the NASA channel.

Wow! I couldn't see the image at first, then... POP! I love it when that happens. Nicely designed, Kristen. Very timely.

Here's an interview so everyone can see what a cool guy he is:

very unexpected puzzle! I didn't get it until I read your after solve statement. Thanks for a great puzzle. I too was excited about Curiosity.

Thanks, Jen! I'm bummed today, because the team at JPL isn't doing their usual press release. I'm forced to watch a kids' show on the NASA channel, in hopes they'll come on later.

NASA channel... [drools]

Our "science" channels have reality shows ("reality" shows I should say) and shows on ghosts...

sigh.

The great thing about NASA TV is that it's FTA (free to air). You just need to point a dish in the right direction and you can pick it up. On their website they tell you the altitude and azimuth and everything.

Cool! I have a cupboard full of dishes.

And cable. :(

hehe

Having trouble seeing the image.
