Curiosity

NASA's JPL staff celebrates at 1:33:02AM
Like an Olympic vaulter, Curiosity sticks the Mars landing.

But I'm wondering, could they have designed a more complicated landing process...


Simply amazing.

The explanation is here.

P.S. In the live JPL feed I spotted former childhood neighbor #2. What was in the water back then to have one neighbor three houses up the street grow up to become an astronaut and another immediately next door to become a NASA spokesperson. Sweet.
