"...the final part of the landing system, which, for Mars
Science Laboratory, is a new one called 'Sky Crane.'"
http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00000970/

Better start aiming for precision right now:
...the final part of the landing system, which, for Mars
Science Laboratory, is a maneuver called "Sky Crane,"
would be better.

I predict that before all is said and done, Emily will have
to devote an entry of her blog to a detailed discussion
of the terms: landing system, landing maneuver,
lander, and descent stage as they relate to "Sky Crane."
