It will be touching down 1:31 ET time (roughly one hour after this forum post!)

This is an incredible event! Watch it live here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ustream.html

I'll be watching if I can keep my eyes open.

YOU CAN DO IT!

40 minutes to go.

/flails with excitement.

Doing my best

Watching this right now!

Me too

Even if it's just simulations and preps for when it's about to land, this is still interesting stuff!

Those people must be very nervous

I'd imagine so!

1 minute to entry!

Almost there

Eee everyone's so excited!
And I know I'll be hearing about this on Far Lands or Bust tomorrow or so when Kurt uploads his next video.

This is so exciting!

Very!

Excellent

If I heard it right, they're getting data already from it?

Yeah

Yup! Everything is heading fine and they are waiting for parachute flight.

And there's the parachute

Parachute deploy!
