Seven Minutes of Terror


Next month is the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars.  The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California has produced a fantastic five minute video of the mission.  The simulation is great - - but the what and how are not the stars of this video.  The stars are the who; the four engineers that discuss the mission - - engineers that you could listen to all day talk about design, the challenges, the mission, etc.  Engineers that speak with clarity and passion.  The combination of the two produces something that is both educational and entertaining.

This video ought to be the model for the short technology content docu-video - - what comes together with world class simulation graphics and inspired engineers.

Well done!!
