Just in case you want to get back in line for the jet-fueled roller-coaster ride that was Curiosity's landing on Mars...we now have video!

Not yet 48 hours after NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab chronicled Curiosity's descent to the Red Planet, we can watch the lo-fi video from the rover's point-of-view.

As it fell toward the planet's surface, Curiosity's Mars Descent Imager, or MARDI, captured video of the landing sequence. The camera rocks back and forth as the probe sways underneath its supersonic parachute, and then shakes as the rocket engines fire. MARDI also has a high-resolution video of the landing, as well as video of the surrounding terrain, but it won't be available until more data is received from the rover. Maybe it has something to do with the millions of miles that data has to travel.

You have the secret code but now you need 2 million dollars per month until resolving some issues and consider you lucky - If you do not resolve the problem this year it will cost you next year 4 million dollars per month -

Stop trolling.

WTF? Firstly, your grammar is horrible. I hope English is not your first language. Second, These "ignorant engineers" are so much more intelligent than you'll ever dream of being. They spend almost a decade in school to dream of one day being a successful engineer to accomplish feats like this one (I'm studying currently). This is one of the greatest feats of mankind and NO ONE should bash it.
