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

I remember discussing the fate of the skycrane with MarsEngineer on this forum a good while ago, and to my recollection he said something like that, sure, if they had time for it they might try to program a soft landing into it... Not a priority though, and since it doesn't really serve a purpose, apart from pollution mitigation, it probably wont happen. Would be neat if they tried though.
Love the animation! The only things I didn't quite like were the flyby sounds in space (I can live with the mechanical sounds and the thruster ones, since those events actually transmit sound through the structure of the spacecraft), the lack of an ionized trail through the atmosphere and the somewhat tinny sound of the skycrane rockets. I think it will be a good deal more deep and throaty in reality. The rest of the animation is top notch and you even showed us parachute deploy, which was something Maas edited out very niftily for the MER edl animation.... |
