Gotta stunt on em

YES!! My 11 yr old son has been excited for this event for a while now. The mrs and I were concerned about his phone screen time usage since lockdown started. Turns out a good chunk of his viewing is about space, black holes, white holes and the Perseverance landing. The rest is mostly minecraft. Dinner time talk sometimes has the full on nerd effect going :laughing

 

[BURNROPE]

It's pretty amazing that we first put a man in space only 60 years ago to watching a dune buggy being delivered to Mars on live TV.

What time are the descent and landing scheduled?

The First link has a countdown timer! We are about 20.5 hrs away Ken. :thumbup

 

[budman]

Cool thanks Mike..!

Even cooler that already have a film crew waiting.

Thanks Mike! I looked up the schedule after I posted and JPL's site said 12:55 p.m. our time.

We used to do work for JPL; Derek machined a couple of mast cams for the rover that you worked on; I probably told you that already.

Take care!

 

[Mike95060]

Oh I remember Ken. I talked to Derek about it too. Most shop guys are much more, "parts is parts" about flight hardware than I am. I really can't hide my JPL starstruck fanboy attitude :laughing Rockets, robotos and research? FUCK YEA!!! :flag

 

[Killroy1999]

One media joked that we can put a autonomous car on mars, but we can't keep the lights on in Houston.

 

[Climber]

Well, everything should go as planned.....as long as the units are correctly aligned between the US and European partners on the project. :laughing

 

[Mike95060]

1 HOUR To GO!!!!

 

[gnahc79]

Are we there yet? :laughing

 

[Mike95060]
