Agreed... NASA's timing was off by 12 hours though - it would have been really amazing to have the landing happen in the middle of the day so millions of students across the nation could watch it live!

It did happen in the middle of the day, or near enough anyway. Curiosity landed at right about 3:00pm LMST*.

Anyways congrats on the successful landing, hopefully I have a cool job like that someday.
