Pretty small at only 400KM, though. Haven't they hypothesized a much larger planet out there?

Yea, the ninth (since Pluto is now merely the most famous TNO instead of a planet) planet (if it exists, some studies say that the 9th hypothesis is not necessary to explain the orbits) is more massive and thus probably larger than Earth, but probably less than Neptune.

It's rover landing day! I think it's supposed to land around 4PM central today.

I’m super excited for this mission: Mars copter, experiment to get O2 from the atmosphere, and basically a robo paleontologist

Krispy Kreme is giving away a special donut to celebrate the landing. Haven't seen it just heard it.

I love how they gets elementary school kids involved. Fuckin A. "Hi kids, your nation is going to land on Mars, what should we call the spaceship?"

Science. The anti-drug, lol

Is watching the NASA stream on Twitch to watch the rover landing more nerdy than watching gamers on twitch?!?

This is where we wake up the Reaver sleeping on Mars and eradicate intelligent life in the Milky Way.

I had NASA on follow for a long time because the SpaceX missions would sometimes stream on there also
