 Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. - GeeTwo [more] |

Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Tonight!
The twin rover Opportunity is scheduled to land tonight around 9:05PM PST, 12:05AM EST. I hope it will land successfully as Spirit.

Re: Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Tonight!
Now to hope that the same thing that happened to Spirit wont happen to Oppurtunity, so we can have more oppurtunity(pun intended) to collect data.

Re: Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Tonight!
Way to go NASA! Does this mean I actually have to be more respectful of Dave now? I'll start by not comparing the back of his head to one of those big fuzzy microphones this time...

Re: Mars Rover Opportunity Lands Tonight!
Now now, hiedi, be nice. My dad just landed 850BILLION of your tax dollars on Mars. Yes there is a justified cost for all of this. If anybody saw him on CNBC friday night, he gave a couple examples. Also, when we first sent satellites to space no1 expected that one day we would get our weather forcasts, TV, and phones from them(satellite TV, and cell phones). And oh well, so what if it is y-petal down, just a little bit extra time b4 it can start moving around.
