About to lose Odyssey link, so that's about it for now. But I think we'll all take it.

During EDL I kept thinking, "This was over and done 14 minutes ago", and still it was exciting, and then the first images.... Wow. Great Job.

Taking longer to get the photos from JPL to the web than it took to get them from Mars.

Did the science advisor guy just say no other nation had put a lander on another planet?

Yeah, after all the talk about "We might not know for hours" it was more like seconds.

The pics look dusty. Were there no lens caps?

Can't wait for the video from the Descent Imager. Huygens teased us with its descent images - I hope Curiosity lets us see the first landing on another planet.

My understanding is you're looking through the lens caps. They'll pop them off when they're sure the dust has settled.

Images are up.

ETA: Well, such as they are...thumbnails apparently for now.

I think I heard them say that there were lens caps, and they're still on, which is why the images aren't very clear.
