I'm sure you know of the incredible journey just completed by "Curiosity" winding up safely on the surface of Mars, a mere 140 million miles from Earth, give or take a few. I came across this video and thought it did a great job of illustrating what took place during the final, white-knuckle portion of that mission.
This collection of various NASA animation, telemetry data, onboard vehicle instrumentation, incident audio, and JPL footage was put together beautifully by film critic and film maker Brandon Fibbs.
Pretty amazing "2001: Space Odyssey" stuff. Congratulations to the great work by the team at the Jet Propulsion Lab; the first and most critical part of the mission was accomplished, but the work is far from over.
