I love the fact that they make a big deal about the first 'colour' view when all it is is monocrome brown. Hell I could have done that to a black and white photo . If you haven't yet seen it, its brown and yes it's rocky, contain your surprise please...


Pretty cool all the same

I am still amazed that we can blast a rocket into the sky, with all that force, and then have the technology to have a spacecraft fly itself to a distant planet, and have a probe land on it's moon. All remotely controlled from millions of miles away. Amazing.

Almost as amazing as the flapping flag on the moon. A light breeze with no atmosphere, incredible!

...so i take it you believe in the conspiracy that the US never landed? LOL
I have seen stuff on that. Personally, I think the mission is too huge and involved probably a hundred thousand employees working for thousands of contractors for NASA to pull off something like that without people finding out.

Did you put on your tin foil hat this morning?

I mean really.

I got goose bumps from the first pictures. I mean this is a world with a coastline and a river delta!!!

The next day some sounds were released that were recorded on the way down. It was very cool to listen to winds on another planet. We are so close to being a space race. So very close.

Hear's to the dream.

I thought they used a top cross bar to hold the flag up on the moon... Huygens is an incredible achievement considering it was launched so long ago...
