Saturday 5th August Landing Day

18 minutes to entry

We are gathered in Building 321, the Flight Operations Centre.

A final talk from John Grotzinger (MSL PI), he tells us this is the opportunity of our generation perhaps never to be repeated.  Steve Squyres (MER PI) reminds us to enjoy the mission.
