Was flipping channels and saw public access is tuned into NASA, and a bunch of geeks were jumping up and down celebrating. Now this dude is opening image thumbnail windows on some huge Linux screen.

Is this live, or did this like happen yesterday?

No that was a rerun of the Voyager 1 & 2 missions.


Seriously, I have no clue.

Yup, Opportunity is currently inside a crater. Luckily, there is the hemotite they are looking for nearby.
