This video brought me to tears, very moving to me, a planetary exploration fan since Sputnik. Telstar! Mercury, Gemini, those astronauts were real heroes to a small town boy like me, even the Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, first in Space, the cold war did not interfere with my respect for him. I watched every single Apollo launch from my backyard in Florida, stayed up late for the Apollo 11 landing on TV, Walter Cronkite did too! Then came Skylab, what fun! The Soviets joined us there...SPACE!

Please post a non-Flash version of this! I can't show it to anyone on my phone (= lost publicity for NASA)
-
Airbags for a mass of a 900 kg weight rover would be also heavier than the rover itself and the impact-energy would be destructive or at least critical with the speed the much smaller MERs landed.
This will be awesome, hopefully not a beagle2-revival :-)

Is this really the most efficient way to land a large rover? The sky crane appears to be about three times more massive than the rover itself.
-
how do they already have cameras on mars just where the probe happened to land? this is BS just like the moon landings. wake up, sheeple!
-
MSL? More like MSI - Mars Surface Impactor.
God speed. That thing is gonna kick ass, providing it gets there.
-
what happened to the engineering principle of " keep it simple stupid"? that's a way too complicated landing system, so much could go wrong

FSM bless MSL !
