Im already set with munchies at the ready, excited as myself and my niece have our names onboard so fingers crossed for a soft landing 
I'm debating whether to let my son watch he interested in space and Mars. It is past his bedtime 8pm but no school tomorrow so might ask him

Amazing. Been following this as we have our names on board too. We watched it live on the night, I think it's incredibly what they have acheived. Can't wait to see what the rover helps NASA learn & discover.
Gutted we have to wait so long for the return samples. Scheduled for 2029, hopefully that will get pushed up
A couple years ago I did a certificate for my mum's name to be engraved on a microchip that would go to Mars on the rover. We both totally forgot about it but when I realised it had arrived and told her she was so happy and gobsmacked that could happen. Made her day
