As an electronic engineer I am very impressed that they pulled this off. It was really quite complex and I worried it was going to end up like the Russian one they tried to land like this...a pile of junk.
OTOH I do chuckle at..."look at the images!!". Uhhh yea we've seen alot of them with the other rovers which is amazing that one is still roaming around up there!!!
I wanted to see this baby land...then throwing rooster tails of Mars dust up in the air as it searched for....eerrr....water...again.
Comon...lets dig down and see if we can find something better!
