In case you missed it there's 9 minutes on MSL (actual hardware visible) + 5 minutes with Dr Elachi on "This week in Space" there: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
14 minutes out of 23 regarding Unmanned, not bad. -------------------- |

Below, MSL's dynamic test model skycrane drop test. Great to see everything going as expected
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YasCQRAWRwU Question: Animation shows that wheels will be extended prior to the drop. But during the test it appears that they are to be extended after. Why is it different? -------------------- Polish space portal covering up-to-date space news: www.kosmonauta.net

Interesting. This video shows the wheels being extended even before the landing assembly is released from the back shell.
