I had to watch it on the web. I put headphones on and audio was very
good. I could hear comments made in the background.
I saw the images this morning, with the bounce marks on bothe side of the

Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator
for the science instruments on both rovers.
