Ever wonder if robots get white knuckles
or tight sphincters?

    I think there was enough puckering back at mission control.

    In real time and 14 minutes later.

    Strange transmission from Mars: “Curiousity, check gear down, cleared for landing!”

    As they say, any landing you can walk away from …..

    ZZMike,

    Or, in my case, “Any landing that you can be swept into a Millers beer can, reassembled in ER, retire as a fighter pilot and become an airshow performer!”

    (…my landing at 300mph and 75 G`s. Navy Safety Center reviewed all records since WWII; no human being had lived above 45 G`s! Why? Aorta ruptures and head decapitates. Speculation of my case opined small brain and hard ass!…)

    What mech (1) said!
    In addition to mission control, there were thousands of peeps
    if not 10+ thousands that had a part in creating Curiosity & were
    waiting with hearts pounding during that 14 minute comm delay!
