This is a link post Curiosity's Seven Minutes of Terror
Experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ) share the challenges of Curiosity's rover final 7 minutes to landing on the surface of Mars.

I searched both main board and popular and was surprised not to find this outstanding little tube.

This is a normal post It flew for ages and then landed a few miles of the optimal landing spot
It's almost like an easyjet flight.

Also, how is it that they can pilot this thing millions of miles through space, then steer it through an alien atmosphere, deploy a parachute at exactly the right moment and lower a robot car from a rocket powered rig and yet we still haven't got our hover cars?

This is a normal post I'm tempted to go find the conspiracy nuts
haha, one is that they are using it to send a Martian back to his home planet!

Another is from a zoomed in picture of an image of a dollar bill on Curiosity which contains the freemason pyramid which, as any fule kno, is symbol of the NWO!

This is a normal post Lighter atmosphere.
If it had been the same as Earth's atmosphere the parachute would have slowed it down much more and therefore wouldn't have needed the jet/hover stage but because it is a lighter atmosphere then less thrust is needed to keep the thing falling to the ground.

This is a normal post Schrodinger's Mars Lander
within that 7 minutes waiting for the signal to reach earth the Mars lander would have been in 2 separate states both crashed and safely landed while that signal was unobserved. :D
