This is what true elation looks like. Jim Graf, project manager, has tasted victory at Mars now after some previous disappointing tries at getting spacecraft there. Graf is shown here just moments after learning Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had successfully maneuvered into orbit around the red planet today.

The same moment, from a different angle, shows the reactions of JPL director Charles Elachi (standing next to Graf) and flight systems manager Howard Eisen (sitting down).
That's how you end a good day.
