Kinda reminds me of the Apollo moon landing, but with more color. Awesome.

Was better than the high def at the Superbowl on a 1080p screen! awesome! Visually stunning in just the fact that you are seeing in vivid detail the landing on another planet.

I too watched it twice

Thats fake guys. 1:55, most fake landing ever, horrible animations, and the dumb zooming sounds at the end are just a picture zooming in and out with added sound. You cant believe this.

Very cool.

And, FYI, before anybody asks about it -- the sound is simulated (although the video is real).

Loved listening to the sound, seemed so peaceful as it was falling from the sky.

Edit: Ahh damn, just read above!

I tell my sports loving freinds that events like these are my Superbowl

. They usually tilt their head like when a dog hears a high pitched noise but it's okay, to each his own.To the op, nice thread and thanks.

That was an awesome video.
I didn't want it to end. The detail was unbelievable and I found myself looking for anomalies on the martian surface.
