Opportunity lands on Mars

Jan. 25 - (Crossing fingers) Live on CNN from JPL in Pasadena, ping, radar, bouncing, re-acquired signal, still rolling, stopped moving, unwrapping.

I think we can call the Opportunity landing a success!

(I doubt I can make it to 1 am PST for Surveyor to transmit to earth. Damn.)

UPDATE: The photos on the NASA page and Rover page are pretty impressive and worth waiting to load.
