Thousands gathered in Times Square on the night that Mars Curiosity safely landed on Mars after a 352-million mile, 8.5 month journey.
Seeing so many people gathered together to be a part of the moment on such a late Sunday night was just incredible to witness. People were captivated by the images being displayed on the Toshiba screen and listened closely to the audio broadcast over their phones, sharing headphones as necessary.
It will always be one of my most memorable nights in NYC.
