Wow! How did they get it "right side up"?

Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not are slaves.

I can explain this video in two words Wink...

"Explain that video."

COOOOOL! :good:

Great video for children...a little on the phony side for adults I would say. I'd like to see far more in depth looks (although I do like the style of this video) at the technical side of the work from the space agencies, but the great HD video compilation does a good job of explaining the mission in this case I must say!

That's why i like it, tried growing up about 60 years ago, didn't like it. Went to system restore and been happy as a kid ever since. :crazy:

The right way up......yes puzzled me too. Perhaps if the rover is constructed to achieve a really low centre of gravity the pneumatic delivery cocoon always rolls to a stop the right way up. A few punctures could ruin your whole day (or even several years if you include development). Plenty of testing before this plan was adopted I would think.
