Touchdown! NASA lands a car-sized rover on Mars


This is a picture taken by a car-sized robot - the Curiosity Rover - NASA successfully landed this morning. You are looking at the surface of Mars. You want to talk about gymnastics? NASA stuck the landing from 154,000,000 miles away.

Watch a recording of the control room feed here - skip to 7:20 for the touchdown.
