You gotta admit that the Curiosity rover's landing system was pretty damned incredible, and I'm amazed that something so far-fetched actually worked (but perhaps the NASA animation makes the concept of it look too unreal, as if it's sci-fi and not sci-fact). Here's footage they released of the landing - Though it's a shame they didn't have another camera ontop of the rover to film the crane dropping it onto the surface even if another satellite managed to capture a photo of one of its landing stages.



It's an amazing time for human science indeed.

EDIT: Oh yeah, this was leaked. Perhaps it'll be worth the weight. () They could've done a better job with the voice acting though - But this is pretty damned amazing for a fan project. The people bitching about it seem to forget that it was made by fans and doesn't even have a budget.
