The guy featured in the viral “7 minutes of Terror” video from Curiosity days, Adam Steltzner, gave a talk about those previous landings which is an absolute gem. Fantastic speaker. He goes through the technology in some detail at semi ELI5 level but enough to be good. Once he seems to be finished with the main topic, stick around for the personal and inspirational stories in the Q&A segment, well worth it. If you haven’t seen 7 minutes of terror, it’s a must watch (a little on the laughable drama side but hey it’s deserved!), but no need to hunt it down because it’s included near the beginning of his talk in the link below. https://longnow.org/seminars/02013/oct/15/beyond-mars-earth/ https://longnow.org/seminars/02013/oct/15/beyond-mars-earth/
