This is really intense. I watched the explaination of the whole landing process online a while ago.

I will be dragging my knuckles at work tomorrow (more than usual anyways) but I have yet to miss a U.S or Europe Mars mission landing yet. Since this type of landing has never been tried before, it will be exciting!

I think I watched the same video. It's a pretty cool little clip! I love the 'Michael Bay' feel of the introduction! :lol:

Congrats to NASA and the people who built the rover and are running the mission. It's got a lot going for it. Pathfinder was the size of a book, whereas Spirit/Opportunity were the size of a TV, this new Curiosity rover is the size of a car! I never knew how bit it was in comparison till I saw a picture of it next to the others. It can go pretty fast over the terrain too, which is a plus. And I think the coolest part is the power source, using a "Radioisotope thermoelectric generator" that will garauntee a long life for a minimum of 14 years (according to wikipedia).

This is fabulous. I'm still in awe of Opportunity and what that has accomplished and now there's a new toy in town. :)
