[AccessD] OT: Space nerds

I watched the NASA site with only a couple of buffer delays.  But then I'm a
lot closer to JPL so probably first in line. :)

Quite extraordinary when you think of all the things that could have gone
wrong.

LOL.  I had the feed all set up and working.  I went to bed at 09:30 PM and
woke back up at 12:45 AM to start watching.  I had several instances of
firefox open on various feeds.  Closed down one that supposedly had nothing
to do with the feed and EVERY INSTANCE of firefox closed!.  Then the server
was overloaded and I couldn't get back in!

I could NOT get back in.  I ended up watching some guys at some university
discussing what was happening and occasionally switching to show me the feed
I had been watching direct.

I have rarely been so pissed!

But hey, the landing worked!  We are back on Mars with the most powerful
laboratory ever.
