Yes,I'm really looking forward to this.
The landing is being billed as "seven minutes of hell"which will certainly be exciting.
I am praying for a decent landing and maybe a decent photo or 2 in the early hours of tommorrow morning.

Apparently, it will be filming the parachute deployment & the final drift down. No idea if that will be shown live though, or if its a movie or just still shots?
I do know it has a movie camera & microphones, a first for Mars. Just not sure when in the mission they will be used?

Yes,I'm unsure how much we will actually see once the descent begins but it will still be quite exciting as they check system status.
I think they will try and protect cameras and microphone during landing for use on the surface and I'm guessing a"signal" will be the first sign of a successful landing.
I'm not sure we will see anything from the surface for a few days but maybe we might see something in the early hours.
I think it will become clearer what to expect as descent begins.
Fantastic adventure whatever happens.

Yeah, but NASA would just edit all that stuff out!
Don’t talk Bollox.....
The set budget simply doesn’t stretch too include aliens or UFO’s.

It's been a marathon journey, but then again the milky way is a big galaxy.
Should give us all a boost.

Aye, some radio-controlled car driving around filming dust and dirt... big boost. Very useful.

You cynic, there's a bounty of knowledge to be had.
Maybe even the chance to set up a star bar.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
You may have lit a fuse here but the landing will be no picnic.
