Let's get this party started! |
Man. It wasn't enough that I got to watch Usain Bolt win the 100m again, but UT alum Sonya Richards-Ross won the Gold in the Women's 400m.
I also watched a man with prosthetic limbs race in an Olympic foot race.
But after watching the Twitter Feed for the Mars Curiosity Rover the past couple of months, Curiosity came down successfully on the surface of our sister planet, Mars.
You guys, we live in the future.
I haven't gotten teary during the Olympics. I've done my fair share of yelling and cheering and chanting "go go go go go go go" while watching races.
But I admit I got a little choked up watching the JPL crew high-fiving after the news that Curiosity had landed and we received the first images back from the rover.
