Anybody else anxious? I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus. It's been almost 30 years since we've had lander pictures from a *completely* new, totally unexplored world. Now the time has finally arrived. The anticipation is killing me! :S shocked 8O grin

Paul,

Agreed!! At least the probe is "alive" unlike Beagle 2 at Mars. I got all sorts of fingers crossed!! grin

Spectacular stuff! And it's sounding at 6:50 Mountain Time as though it's a success -- fingers still crossed.
