Thumbs up Just 4 Days to Mars

I wonder if there are people placing bets on if it will crash into Mars or make a successful landing?

Personally I'm excited about this mission but going to be amazed if it is successful.

Its landing system looks like it was designed by Rube Goldberg.

I did not know that. Unfortunately about the only thing I'll most likely see on the 5th is a tropical storm clouds and lightening in the sky.

I've always been really bad at locating stuff in the sky but since using this app I've been able to locate all kinds of stuff including the space station.

I've heard about the landing on the radio. It looks exciting but can anyone say:
