  • This mission is so absurdly complicated, in an awesome sort of way. I feel tense just watching this animation. So much could go wrong. I sure hope they broadcast mission updates when this thing finally goes to mars, because I plan on watching them live on the edge of my seat.

  • Pretty damn good animation.

  • what no sharks with lasers on their heads? It's the only thing they left out.

  • Wait, is that RCS engines used for the landing?

  • This is the proof that NASA can make excellent animations, just as PIXAR. I hope that works in real life. May the force be with you.

  • Launched new misson four days after for Mars Science Laboratory !
