I have to admit to being very nervous about this one. So much on the line. I know minime is prolly waiting anxiously too. Anybody else?

[Magilla Gorilla]

Hmm.
This isn't the thread where everyone posts a pantless picture, is it?

The whole "skycrane" portion at the end seems dangerously complex:

This thing is BIG.

This is august 6 we are talking about?

Nah... those are NASAs Umpalumpahs next to it

See the normal 4' shelves behind them?

[tangirl]

YES!!! WOOHOO!!!

[minime]

Yeah, that's coming up in just a few days! I am pretty amped about it.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the landing is successful. If not, all the wingsians will be howling for NASA to be disbanded.

*double checks*

Yes, looks like the landing will be in the very early morning hours of August 6. So when we get up on Monday it will be a done deal.

Sunday night here. I am on pins and needles until then.

I had no idea there was another Mars rover, and even less idea of the chosen name for said rover.

I thought this was a Bang Bang or Scribner style thread.

I thought you were picking on my non-sensical threads when I come in here talking about Breaking Bad or some other tv show.

It's all about Tangirl.

I always figured your nom de plume was a combination of Tang + Girl this being a fish board. Surely you can no longer be tan? New Yorkers only got that studio tan.

And it is always about the cute girl, Tan.

You weren't here? A LFS sold me a powder blue tang when I first started my tank. I had just joined here and had been lurking a bit. My second post ever, I wanted to know why my pretty little baby tang was wasting away. I posted a thread titled "What's wrong with my tan?" Obviously the thread became quite popular. The rest is history.

Why are they wearing masks if it's going out to a dusty planet?

That's a joke, right?

[ghoti]

Funny. One of the reasons that they are doing the whole "sky crane" landing is that straight retro rockets would kick up too much dust for the sensitive instruments.

Thanks. Never knew that bit of Sump lore. But I am an illegitimate interloper here anyway.

Here I thought this was going to be an official coming out of the closet thread starting with how you're a little "curious"
