Yeah, Freudian slip.

Hey, if you were alien to the earth, would you go the the north pole to look for life?

This thing should have been sent to Mars's equator.

Frozen ice is redundant. Frozen water,,,,

1:19... The woman 'almost' mis-speaks, saying "life might ex- have existed in the past"

I'm just pointing it out.

A marvellous achievement. I've just seen the parachute and lander descent shot captured by the MRO - unbelievable... Where might we not go tomorrow? I can't wait for the science to begin now...

Hits to these vids will go way up after the national news starts letting people know a craft is about to land on Mars! I've seen nothing in the news about it although I've known about it for over a year, most Americans have no clue about this mission! Good luck and I hope all goes well with the mission. It's great you have a signal all the way down unlike the Polar Lander.
