NASA releases Mars landing video: 'Stuff of our dreams'
NASA on Feb. 22 released the first high-quality video of a spacecraft landing on Mars, a three-minute trailer showing the enormous orange and white parachute hurtling open and the red dust kicking up as rocket engines lowered the rover to the surface.
The footage was so good, and the images so breathtaking, that members of the rover team said they felt like they were riding along.
