Whered you get that info Alvarien? I have been looking for that for the past 10 minutes. The stream I was watching cut the mission control sound out just as they were saying it.. :(

I had thought they were saying 2.27 miles.

Either way, 250m or 2 miles, its incredibly close.

I heard 250 meters, but even if it is 2 miles, it is AWSOME !!!

I was watching the french stream and they said that before the atmospheric entrance, when the cruise stage decoupled. They said exactely 232 meters.

Man, I'm freaking out about getting to new planets (when they come) in KSP... Heck how the hell am I supposed to get back?!? Yet alone land something and return it...

I'm still amazed they landed 900kg of raw awesome on Mars.

This is, in my opinion, the most important step in our exploration of space since the Apollo program, and our exploration of space is the most important thing we as humans can do. I am drinking champagne, and fighting back the tears. This is a night I'll remember as long as I live.

Long live Curiosity, and long live curiosity!

All of this, cost the American tax payer 7.00USD per person...

Money well spent? Yes, money more than well spent on thee single greatest engineering achievement and success in recent history. My daughter will grow up, as we explore the final frontier. It'll be because of this mission, that she'll know that we can Dare to do mighty things, even though why might fail, and still succeed.

Dare Mighty Things!

And barely even remotely a hint of a drop in the bucket compared to the bank bailout.. and honestly, Curiosity is pretty much priceless right now. Dare to do mighty things, indeed.
