Okay, we're off and running! Please post all comments relating to MSL's transit to Mars here.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

It took all the way until working on the MSL animation that I learned how TCM's are done when you're still spinning at 2rpm It's very elegant! It's like a brother on a merry-go-round trying to kick his sister each time he spins past her
It's why I wanted to have something more than '8 months later' - we cut it down a bit for the finished thing, earlier we had a burn from each cluster, at the same point in the rotation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...boyXQuUIw#t=41s |
