Unlike the night of the first rover landing, NASA has posted all 77 of the RAW Mars images within minutes of receiving them. This first batch of images were part of the initial transmission relayed via the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor to the Deep Space Network here on Earth. Of note in this batch are a view of the air bag bounce and retraction marks, a slab-like rock outcropping, and what look like wind or water erosion ridges. The post landing press conference is in progress now and I'll leave you to Spaceflight Now's detailed live blog. What a night...it's not too often in life that you get to see a new place on another planet.
