Welcome back Wisdom, we're on Mars! =)

Hi Wisdom, according to an article by William Harwood from news.cnet.com entitled, "NASA rover successfully lowered to surface of Mars"

In an unparalleled technological triumph, a one-ton nuclear-powered rover the size of a small car was lowered to the surface of Mars on the end of a 25-foot-long bridle suspended from the belly of a rocket-powered flying crane late Sunday to kick off an ambitious $2.5 billion mission.
With flight controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory anxiously watching telemetry flowing in from Mars, 154 million miles away and 13.8 minutes after the fact, the Mars Science Laboratory rover -- Curiosity -- radioed confirmation of touchdown at 10:32 p.m. PDT (GMT-7).

'Touchdown confirmed. We're safe on Mars!' said mission control commentator Allen Chen as the flight control team erupted in cheers and applause.
