...in February. I hope it all goes as planned.

Now you’re just teasing John, but with commendable effectiveness IMO. That aside, I too hope all goes as planned.  Thanks for the heads-up.

The rover is going to land, broadcast live, in less than an hour.

Thanks for the reminder!  PBS is covering the landing live too.

It looks as if the landing was flawless.

Thanks! It was interesting to experience the landing sequences in "real" time. Of course there is a lag before the signals reach us.

I'm looking forward to many discoveries. Heck, I'm an amateur astronomer. This is a lot better than what my telescope can do (duhhh! right?).
