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.
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?

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.

Why not just enjoy it with your eyes, and watch professionally recorded footage? Its convenient that everyone has a camera of some sort to hand now, but really, does anyone watch what they recorded / photographed again and again?

Im probably being a bit hippocritical, as im quite snap-happy, but when it comes to events like gigs and shows, you just have to forget about the camera, and savour it in person.

Not a gig, but a couple of years ago I was in a small boat following whales around a bay in Antarctica. I got some great shots with my DSLR of them surfacing & diving. Then one came right up beside the boat to check us out... and I put the camera down. I remember thinking "No, watch this, because it's not going to happen again."

There's something very strange about a person's first reaction to any event to be to film it and watch it later on a screen, rather than immerse themselves in it at the time.
There was some footage here in the spring from the cheese-rolling of a girl heading down the hill quite gingerly so she could film herself as she went. Except that she was thereby not filming herself participating in the event: she was just filming herself going carefully down a hill. Which is hardly worth watching, is it?
