A good watch, just had a look out at Mars - it's amazing that it's up there on the surface !

Well, it's down, and the only smoking crater is the bit that's supposed to end up a smoking crater.

Yes, I walked the dog and spent a few minutes looking at Mars and trying to comprehend what had just been achieved.

Absolutely outstanding science, amazing landing.

I loved the technology of the landers data and accompanying graphics, felt like I was almost there watching it land in person. 

I filled up a little as the emotion was so powerful on touchdown, the release of emotion was palpable. 

Well done again all the teams involved, truly inspiring result for all your dedication.

I agree, I thought it was excellent how immersive they made the presentation of it all, and I found it amazing how quickly the rover sent back photos after landing! Brilliant, really enjoyed it.

Watched it in my Warm room(shed) during an unexpected imaging session. Awesome achievement, congratulations to all involved.👍

I got my nephews their first telescope for Christmas. They were watching the landing then were so keen to get out and view Mars to see if they could see anything. Bless them ☺️

Couldn't agree more. Given the chequered history of Mars projects I've not held my breath quite as much since the Apollo days. Brilliant achievement.
