There's nothing quite so amazing as watching photos from another world upload onto a giant screen. I have had the privilege of being at two such events: the landing of the Mars Rover
Spirit in 2004, and the landing of the Mars Science Lab
Curiosity on Sunday.
You can read all about it on Altadenablog, right here: http://bit.ly/Planetfest
There are photos and a video that I took, too.
Meanwhile, here's a picture of a picture of a picture to whet your appetite.
