Rover has made it!!

Rover has survived the descent into Mars atmosphere and also the parachute and bounce procedures.

It just sent a "hello!" back home to Earth.

Woo hoo! Go Nasa!

Hope Rover doesn't pop a tire riding over Beagle's pieces.

And I think they'll find evidence for lots of liquid water in Mars' ancient history. It'll be interesting...
