Hey, folks! Everybody getting psyched for the big "Seven Minutes Of Terror" over Gale Crater tonight? The big show starts on NASA TV at around 11:30 EDT. I'm celebrating the occasion by cueing up a double feature of Experiment 201, Rocketship X-M, and Experiment 524, 12 To The Moon.

Go Curiosity!

I have NASA TV tagged and ready to go. I watched; on the tele, The Keck and Mauna Loa Solar Observatory websites, and through my telescope; the complete crossing of the Venus transit back in June. At least I won't have to sweat this time.
