For those interested, it begins its landing tonight just before 8 pm. Fascinating.

Fantastic 31st December brexit -  18th Feb Mars landing. Coincidence? I think not.

Fantastic. Love this stuff. The science and engineering behind these voyages are mind bending.

I can’t get decent WiFi in parts of the house.

Nasa have landed a remote control Rover and are beaming pictures back from Mars!

I believe it’s got entangled in red weed. It’s everywhere.

agree, cant get my head around a lot of it. Like where do you even begin to plan a trip to Mars? I cant even organise a holiday away with friends.

My friend's sister was in Mission Control for the landing last night. A very proud moment for her and her family.
