Hi Sterling, List. The lander's batteries were designed for 30 minutes....
What a SPECTACULAR mission milestone....the first landing on a planetary moon other than our own.

Image taken at 16,000 meters. Large numbers of images received (100's). Probe continued to send images for a very long time after landing. Blokes who designed the batteries get a medal; they were only supposed to last for a few minutes. In fact, medals all around! Under all that atmospheric blur, complexity! Nothing like a New World!
