gr82be 14,423 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Space exploration has always fascinated me since I watched the Saturn rockets as a kid. I missed the live touchdown but thanks for the link. A touchdown on Mars, that's what you call scoring in the red zone. 56 minutes ago, homersapien said: https://www.space.com/17933-nasa-television-webcasts-live-space-tv.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't really show the control room in real time. I bet it erupted. This was a complicated mission and only the second time the landing technology was used. No doubt there was a lot of breath holding. Man, I am so proud of the engineers and scientists that pulled this off! (I wonder if and how many AU grads were involved.) I sure hope I am still around when the samples are returned and analyzed (I'm almost 70). https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/mars-sample-return-msr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a feasibility study call a Georgia Tech grad For an estimated cost analysis call an Alabama grad If you want the damn thing built hire an Auburn grad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
