 AA> I completely forgot about it. I had it scheduled as a reminder 
 AA> in my iPod, but I forgot the iPod at home this morning.

I had it in mind but got busy with other things. I'll see if I can catch up here in a bit.

 AA> I bet the fine martian dust will muck up the rotors very 
 AA> quickly. There is no service station on mars to repairs things 
 AA> like that. :D

I hope that dust is dry enough that it doesn't stick to anything.

 AA> SO.. was the landing captured well? One of the pics post- 
 AA> landing is just black and white. Isn't this multi-billion $ 
 AA> rover equipped with a colour cameras?

I haven't had a look yet. I saw a headline that the landing was successful but haven't had a look yet.

 AA> I think I noticed a recorded 2hr program of the event on YT.

Good stuff, I'll go check that out.

 Ttyl :-),
