nasa;mars Spectacular NASA animation of Curiosity Rover Landing Tomorrow

[Ice_Blue]

Landing is August 5th, at 10:31 PM, PDT.

It's supposed to be the most difficult ever attempted.

Utterly fantastic, brilliant depiction! Thanks, I really enjoyed that! :)

Skycrane is a very risky deal as it's never been used before. If it works fine. If it doesn't....

With about a 14 minute delay between the vehicle sending and NASA receiving data the Curiosity either landed safely or has crashed about 7 minutes before the time NASA receives data on the vehicle entering the Mars atmosphere.

So yes, that would qualify for no room for error I guess ;)

Let's hope everything works out fine.

Watching live and of course all the best...but what happened to the live landing video we were promised? Where are all the HD cameras?
