I myself was up until 02:00 AM East coast time and 11:00 PM or 23:00 West
coast time.
Now I have a local Astronomy professor who was invited to fly to KSC to
watch the mars landing.
He is helping them create the new Braille book in the NASA collection of
Braille books.
This space nut is getting a braille copy of that book.
Who ever is behind the mars landing windows simulator.
I probably could get him on board for the technocal advisor of the project.
The old mars game that was up dated to windows is a cool game from the old
dos days.
But this new project also would be cool as well.
Let me know how I can help out.

I'm invious. The XBox live folks with kinect got a game to land
curiosity. I stayed up to watch it land. Just a little taste, I
suppose, of what it was like to watch the moon landing, not as huge,
by a longshot, but still hyped up, pretty exciting, certainly new and
scary.
Go Curiosity.

How can we help out?
Now also, how about a space shuttle simulator as well?
Ron who would love to have been the first blind astronaut.
Now if I only could take a swim in the NBL swimmingpool.
It will be the closest I'll ever get to the space station.

Games We'd like to play.
by Phil Vlasak
Curiosity Mars rover game.
NASA secretly put you inside the rover to help guide it down to the
surface
of Mars.
As it enters the atmosphere, you need to uncover the heat shield so it
will
start slowing down.
It will reach about 10 gravities of acceleration. You must decide when to
deploy the supersonic parachute, followed by when to ignite the
rocket-powered sky crane, to help slow the rover's speed from more than
13,000 miles per hour to zero in only seven minutes. [
Once the crane is hovering 25 feet from the surface, you have the task of
lowering the rover on three tethers and an electrical umbilical cord until
it sets its wheels down on the Red Planet.
You need to wait 2 seconds to confirm that you are on solid ground by
detecting the weight on the wheels and you have to fire several small
explosive devices activating cable cutters on the bridle and umbilical
cords
to free itself from the descent stage that flies off to crash land.
Then the fun begins. As you travel around in the science Laboratory, along
with the parachute and Sky Crane wreckage, you discover a army of Martian
zombies digging out of the soil, all commanded to destroy you. Armed with
a
telescope and laser weapon, you must explore the planet while fighting off
the metal hungry zombies.
