Absolutely amazing.
Now the sad part is that, now all the pyrotechnics and crazy engineering has passed, we're now going to settle in for a slow roll across the landscape where the real science begins. Public interest will wane in a few hours, and people will forget.
I think NASA/JPL has been doing an excellent job getting public interest up, but geology and a rover making 200 m per day really are hard things to publicize. NASA is always a soft target for budget cuts because they can't keep their activities on the front page of the newspaper, like the military can.
What could NASA/JPL do if it were flush with money?
