NASA’s (Successful!) 7 Minutes of GAH
August 6, 2012
What exactly they had to do:
And….they did it.
Among the first images:
The clear dust cover that protected the camera during landing has been sprung open. Part of the spring that released the dust cover can be seen at the bottom right, near the rover's wheel.
Something that is still almost impossible to comprehend: One of those things up in the sky—one of those twinkly things we commonly call “stars” (even if they’re sometimes planets)—has a car on it. And we put it there.
Mind-boggling.
