Watch them get this 2000 pound vehicle on the Martian surface

I know you've seen this Ron, but others should watch the video at bottom of this post. It's very cool.

Taken during mobility testing, this image is of the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

Curiosity lands on the surface of Mars in about 2 months, August, 2012.

I suggest others watch this Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover Animation, about the mission. The video is only 11 minutes long, and well worth the watch.

Enlarge the screen and turn up the volume.

How they are going to get Curiosity onto the surface of Mars

The video which will be sent back from this vehicle traveling around the surface of Mars, will be spectacular.

Thanks for posting the link to the video. My boys and I just watched the whole thing. Bloody fantastic.
