I like it when they all jump up and cheer.

You didn't miss too much, just a lot of tension, suspense and anxiety followed by sudden relief, cheering and congratulations. I think one of things which makes this mission different from others is they said they'll eventually have video and audio of the descent. They even sent a drone they can fly too.
Hope they captured some good video while that puppy was speeding along 5.3 kilometers per second. ![]() |

Watched it on tv and found it as fascinating as that first first moon landing all those years ago.

What got me was the idea that what was going to happen had already happened. By the time JPL received information Perseverance was at atmosphere interface. It was in reality already either on the ground safely or scatter in a million pieces. That 12 minute delay was stressing me out. |

When I first saw the title I thought it was going to be about the Orson Welles 'War of the Worlds ' radio play.
Same here, though in my case I was in the middle of 24-hour sleep.
