I've hit the play button but I'm totaly lost at this stage 
At about this time during MER's EDL, the coolant was being purged from the spacecraft. Will that happen here too?

And 200 (!!) now.
Our IT guy is rebooting the web server, don't know how long that will take.
Mission Control is really cool, but I still love the old Apollo MC footiage, with the guys calculating stuff using slide-rules 
4 minutes to cruise stage separation and 20 minutes from now we may know if EDL is a success or not...
She's in atmosphere now, ate all my peanuts in a gulp...go, sweet baby, GO!!!!!
25,000 mph to nil in 7 minutes. Perhaps your slide rule would like to work that out in g's !
Data relay through Mars Odyssey should begin shortly.... I hope that this works

Yes - cruise stages don't get enough credit.

To cut through the BS of overburdened servers, I'm totally counting on refreshing THIS thread to get the news. As long as light is so slow, I might as well add in the minimal lag of the swiftest of you to relay the news here.
