I got the chance to fly out to JPL and "attend" the landing. It was an AWESOME trip. Good to be there with good friends, watching history unfold.

Big congratulations to Dave Lavery, and everyone else at NASA on a successful landing. It was great to be there at JPL experiencing the energy of the event.
I hope everyone else had the same profound experience I did!
