If anybody is interested, there is a replica of Curiosity at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California. It's an impressively large machine.

[Emc-users] MSL Landing: Success!
Just wanted to congratulate my American fellows for a safe landing on Mars. Yes, Mars Science Laboratory aka Curiosity are there with all it's six wheels firmly and neatly placed in the Martian sand! A great day for all of us Space-enthusiasts!

Re: [Emc-users] MSL Landing: Success!
While I am very glad it worked, I thought the chances for failure were great as that landing sequence was very complicated with the crane mechanism. I think I would have looked (desperately) for a different solution.
