Curiosity's landing- 1 of her creator's POV

I was able to work on NASA JPL's Curiosity Mars Rover for 7 years. This video is an attempt to capture what it felt like to have 7 years of your life vindicated in the 7 minute landing. Honestly one of the coolest moments of my life so far.

All the pictures of hardware you see in the video are things that I worked on designing or testing or building. I got to work on the Sky Crane for 3-4 years then with some hardware on the Rover itself for the rest. My background in school is Mechanical Engineering.

[Eli Mathieu]

Lol, almost cried, :/ any tips on how i can join NASA, i am a medical technologist, always wanted to work for NASA :(

[Dak552]

Yea I figured. I want to major in computer engineering so I am just curious.

[GSunification]

There's no way you can take part in the major development of Curiosity without having a university degree. I'm guessing he majored in one of the S.T.E.M. fields.

NASA is awesome:)
