The Youtube video recording for anyone who missed it live(like me).

So we've sent another robot off onto Mars. That's nice, now the real awesomeness is that it's another step towards sending people over there. Continuous testing like this is what will make it possible for humanity to set foot on Mars. All the work and effort put into making this robot land on Mars is letting people know the data to make a successful human trip. That is what excites me about this event.
