First Curiosity Pictures From Mars



These are the screen captures I took from NASA's live video feed of the Curiosity landing on Mars, in the order that they appeared, as relayed on UHF from Curiosity on the surface to NASA's Odyssey satellite, in Mars orbit, and back to Earth!








Here are NASA's official first Curiosity images from Mars:  http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/images/first_images_mars.html

This is going to be an incredible expedition to follow on Mars!  These are the best cameras to ever be equipped on a vehicle exploring another world.  Check out the fidelity in this image from NASA's official Curiosity twitter feed:  http://twitter.com/MarsCuriosity/status/232354875189628929/photo/1/large

Restoration Hardware

I cut this expensive sofa in half and put it back together again.
It was the only way I could get it upstairs in our old apartment building.
