THEY DID IT!
Yeh baby. Haven't seem the little black guy with the gladiator helmet yet, tho....
More seriously. You have to think about it. We just landed a vehickle all the fuckn way on Mars.
As a species we can do some pretty amazing things when we want to. We landed an SUV on another planet using a rocket powered sky crane.
Well this proves that we can, but we don't. Because we won't.Yet cant keep peeps in Texas from freezin to death...sigh...
I love the ingenuity of getting these rovers to land on mars. The whole thing sounds like if they fielded crazy ideas from a bunch of kids and somehow made it work :laughing. The Sojourner rover was surrounded w airbags. Today's it's the whole transformer-y thing: self steering capsule+parachute, then a self steering sky crane+rover combo. :thumbup
