Mars Online
It turns out the Mars landing has generated a lot of internet traffic for NASA, according to Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log (and plenty of other places). "Between Saturday and midday Wednesday, the NASA Portal network received 1.3 billion hits from 10.4 million unique users ... the system has pushed out more than 34.8 terabytes of information — that's basically 35 trillion characters' worth. In comparison, the full textual content of the Library of Congress has been estimated at a mere 20 terabytes." To put it in context, that a lot more than YMFTB sees on an average day.
