Hey Tibs....this is going on near you somewhere. NASA is testing a parachute soon...it's about the size of 3 school buses, and as wide as a bus. Opens fast too.

LIVE: NASA prepares to launch Mars parachute - CNN
But get outside if you can see a rocket from your area. 7 minutes and counting.....

or everyone can watch it live from the link.

had to run errands in town :(
Wasn't too much to see anyway but maybe YOU could see it go up outside since it was Wal___ something or another. Which is always cool. ;) I thought we'd at least get a pick of the chute, but nope. :( Probably real high up so they could simulate Mars atmosphere.
