That mid-hop picture looks so cool!

Site doesn't load for me, hugged to death?

Anyone got a cache they can share? maybe throw the images up on imgur?

It's a triumph for Japanese and the rest of the world! Eagerly awaiting for more photos and results of the science experiments.

Congrats Japan! The images look a bit like "2001: a Space Odyssey"

I'm surprised I haven't heard hype about this until I opened hacker news and learned about the historical feat after the fact. I guess even with all the globalization and such we in the West don't learn about space endeavors unless it's NASA or the ESA.
