Touchdown on MARS!

[fridascruffs]

Isn't that just bloody amazing?? What a year! The Higgs, the Jubilee, Mars, the Olympics, and on the downside Biblical rain and war in Syria- either way it's a year to remember. May the rest of the year hold only good things. And here's to some amazing images from Mars and a glass of something with the little green men.

The wheels on Curiosity have a tread pattern that spells out 'JPL' in morse code :))))
STAMP that planet!

Isn't it awesome?!! I actually got teary when the safely down message showed up on the twitter feed.

Yep crazy, me too, what with Andy Murray winning and the tour de France as well and Jess and Mo and Greg and team silver for the horse riders and all the others it's been a teary sort of week!

And my favourtie funny bit of the Olympics so far- Colin Jackson yelling 'Look at Wassisname...' from the commentary box. Still giggling.

Haha I laughed at that too!

Yes - I think the NASA people were as happy as Andy Murray!
