I really liked the article - it was very coherent and easy to follow.
BTW, is there a full-res movie of the descent? I've only seen the 'thumbnails' stitched together of the heat-shield and the parachute.
- johno215 14y agoNot yet. Only 20 or so of the full frames of the descent have been downloaded so far. Will probably be a day or more before they are all down. You can see the frames that are down here: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=0 http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?s=0
- kghose 14y agoThanks for the pointer. This really brought home to me the 'baud rate' issue of interplanetary communication. Right now, I'm so used to streaming movies at home that I forget the challenges of communications across such vast distances . Perhaps our children/grand-children will be using the faster interplanetary internet and will recall these days with the same whimsy as we do now our twisted-pair modem days.
