  • Sky crane will fail.

  • You are probably right, but they could just have put on some music during the interplanetary travel, but I see your point!

  • @SALSN hehe, the audio engineers in NASA's media department must be kinda self-loathing. They know it's inaccurate to put sound in space, but they know they gotta put it in to make sure the public doesn't get bored during the space scenes.

  • Great animation, except for all the noise in empty space! ;-)
