If this video does not thrill you nearly to tears then you might not be a space geek.

I saw this earlier today and it annoys the crap out of me. The SUSPENSE! The DRAWMA! The DARK MUSIC!!!

Fucks sake, it doesn't need a manipulative score to be interesting tech. Booooooooo, reality tv shenanigans.

dgnde I guess. I had not realized how technically complex the landing was going to be and I liked the presentation, which seemed more SFnal to me. Then again, I don't watch any 'reality' shows so I wouldn't recognize any conscious attempt to imitate them.

If this actually works, any member of the team who designed/built the thing can demand free oral sex from me. I'm sure the numbers add up, but....rocket-powered sky crane? Really? It sounds like something an 8 year-old comes up with.

I do hope it works though because I loves me some mars robot missions...and giving oral sex to rocket scientists
