Opportunity has Landed and is Alive!

MER - B Opportunity has performed a perfect entry and landing at Mars. I watched the whole thing on NASA TV. How cool is it that you can virtually be present in the JPL control center while this is going on?

In related news, MER-A Spirit's controllers believe they have diagnosed the problems it has been having, and that they will be able to continue doing science once compensations have been performed.

Mars exploration like we've never seen it before!
