That video footage is amazing. I was spellbound watching it. Mars. Awesome!
p.s. Thanks for yet more distractions from work, BoingBoing (See Sgt Peppers photo collage story).

Part of me was hoping to see a tiny little puff of dust as the heat shield hit the ground.
I also heard the Wile E. Coyote falling sound effect in my head as I watched the heat shield drops below the lander.

Was my exact thought when I was nervous and gassy on my first date. I bet others have had that experience.

Just a spellbinding view. Really interesting to see the change in behaviour as the lander moved from parachute to rocket-powered-descent!
Also, pretty crazy that the purpose of the skycrane was to create less dust and damage to the landing zone. That’s still an awful lot of dust!

I saw John Glenn and Alan Shepard, I saw the moon landing, I’ve seen us go to comets and asteroids, and I’ve seen rovers landing on Mars. Not bad for one life.
