Edit: Twitter verification and a group picture!
Edit2: We're unimpressed that we couldn't answer all of your questions in time! We're planning another with our science team eventually. It's like herding cats working 24.5 hours a day. So long, and thanks for all the karma!
We're a group of engineers from landing night, plus team members (scientists and engineers) working on surface operations. Here's the list of participants:
Bobak Ferdowsi aka Mohawk Guy - Flight Director
Steve Collins aka Hippy NASA Guy - Cruise Attitude Control/System engineer
Aaron Stehura - EDL Systems Engineer
Jonny Grinblat aka Pre-celebration Guy - Avionics System Engineer
Brian Schratz - EDL telecommunications lead
Keri Bean - Mastcam uplink lead/environmental science theme group lead
Rob Zimmerman - Power/Pyro Systems Engineer
Steve Sell - Deputy Operations Lead for EDL
Scott McCloskey - Turret Rover Planner
Magdy Bareh - Fault Protection
Eric Blood - Surface systems
Beth Dewell - Surface tactical uplinking
