The landing went well. So far, all systems appear nominal. Congrats to NASA!

The next big test will be deploying the solar panels. That should happen in a few hours.

I had the radio station tuned to news channel all day. They did talk about this a little bit... I was waiting for more info all afternoon, but come up wanting :(

Thnx for the video :)

I'm still waiting for news on the solar panels. Since this critter is solar powered, getting the solar array deployed and functional is a critical factor in the mission.
