ps:For the uk dudes it's landing at 6.31am
East Coast US, my alarm is set for 1AM. :o
Wow that was very cool. To have an image of that tire moments after the landing was exhilarating to say the least! Congrats to the thousands of engineering types that pulled this off. Can I go to bed now?
High quality images within 48 hours!!!

Congratulations NASA. Congratulations Curiosity.
