@CatherineQ Heck yes they are! That happens tonight around 8pm MST, correct?
The Olympics is cool and all but today NASA is lowering a car sized rover onto Mars using nylon strings attached to a rocket powered shelf.

@CatherineQ and yet no mention of NASA Mars mission within the United Kingdom news. -
@NoState1 Oh no! That's awful. You'd think they'd give it *some* coverage.
