Um, apparently that embedded video is still live. I’m seeing a bunch of stuff about Curiosity reaching Mars this Sunday-Monday. (And the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter passing over Gale Crater just as the other craft lands, which is awesome.)

Woohoo! I think this is one of the most important events in the history of the ISS, probably one of the most important space related events in 40 years.

Plus it will be added to the list of reasons my birthday is is the coolest possible birthday. (Also Kennedy’s “to the Moon” speech, Star Wars first opening, and Towel Day)

Well, since no other Canadian has bothered to say it yet…gotta love that the shot of the capture is framed just perfectly to show the “Canada” on the arm.

Yay Canada! Woot!
