They stay on top of the news. They live right there, where the rockets are launched after all. Early that morning they began gathering. Jetty Park. Port Canaveral, Florida.

MAVEN. The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, to be launched November 18, 2013. Entered orbit around Mars September 21, 2014.

These just a few of the creatures that gathered to see the launch. Such excitement! Such a crowd!

And off it goes! On its way to Mars! AND everyone in the crowd was totally pleased.
