Watched the event live on NASA TV with my daughter.  It seemed very nerve racking for some control room members and the announcement of touchdown was met by cheers and laughter as recorded by the video.  We had the same reaction.  This seemed too complex to work but they overcame the odds.  Now what will the Muslims in charge do with the program. 8888crybaby
