UPDATE: LIVESTREAM ADDED – Landing on Mars: Curiosity’s 7 minutes of terror

by The Right Scoop

***LIVESTREAM OF Mars Curiosity Rover Landing ADDED***

***

Curiosity is the size of a small car so they can’t land it the way they have in the past with the balloon landing that bounces on the surface. Landing Curiosity is way more complicated and involves parachutes, rockets, and a sky crane. Yeah it’s pretty awesome:

Curiosity lands on Mars at 1:31am EST on Monday morning (10:31pm PDT Sunday night) so this is basically happening tomorrow night.

Consider this an open thread.
