Seven minutes of terror

[Euler]

Went to JPL last year for a tour. If these guys pull it off it will be amazing!

I'll be up on Monday morning to see if they pull it off.

Blimey Peter!
When I saw that title I thought you had been caught mid trade and Betfair had gone down!

Wow that is an awesome piece of kit. 500,000 lines of code! I heard that a couple of the Betfair programmers were contracted on the build!

I cannot see anyone from Betfair being involved or it is certain to fail!

I also notice the time to contact earth from Mars is 14 minutes, considerably quicker than the time between Betfair and their clients!

Enjoy the view!

That looks like opportunity or spirit?

Curiosity is a remarkable achievement. It should be really interesting to see what they find on their travels. The battery is allegedly fit to last for 14 years.
