A 6:

The first image that came down, which was from the Lander cameras,
was a highly compressed image showing part of the Lander, part of the
surface of Mars, and the airbag material. That proved that we were at least
safely on the surface of Mars. The most memorable set of pictures for me
was when the Rover finally drove off the ramp. Because I knew then that we
could start the Rover driving process. It was one thing for the Lander to
successfully land on the surface, but if the Rover didn't get off, we
wouldn't have been able to do that whole part of the mission. To me, that
was the highlight.
