Spirit has landed!
Spirit has landed on Mars! She's sending back low resolution images right now, while the system checks out.
There is a spectacular set of animations covering the mission here, which were created by a teenager! (QuickTime required, but well worth it!)
OK, I just found a fun trick. Watch either the full film, or the "Exploring Mars" film. Just as the sun sets for the first time, start "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2. It syncs perfectly, and even the lyrics work, considering the mission,
The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
If you time it right, the credits end the second the song does.
