“Well, this was a nice surprise. The MARDI images from Curiosity’s descent to Mars were posted to the Curiosity raw images website several hours ago, but I didn’t notice until someone on unmannedspaceflight.com pointed out that among the nearly 300 thumbnail frames (200 by 150 pixels) there was a single full-resolution image, and it contained the heat shield far below the rover. So cool. It is still mind-blowing to think that this snapshot was taken by a spacecraft flying in the air above a different planet.”
