Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

Also, too bad the video doesn't show the skycrane crashing after leaving the rover. Can you imagine the feedback if we did? A smouldering wreck with fuming hydrazine? A very expensive shot to model and animate as well. Not showing that was a very easy decision. While I imagine it was an easy decision not to show the thing wrecking in detail, I have to own up to the fact that I wish the shot of it arcing away from the rover ended a little bit later, after it disappeared behind the horizon, followed a second later by a little "pfft" of dust, Wile E. Coyote style I enjoyed the lovingly detailed shot of the MarsDial and the rover tai chi! -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
