If ... they pull it off, and that's a mighty big if. The complexity of this upcoming Mars rover landing far surpasses that of previous landings. Watch the video in its entirety (below the fold) to try and get a grasp of what NASA engineers are trying to accomplish, just with the landing. Tremendous velocity, heat, and pin-point accuracy, not to mention the intricate choreography, all without any direct human intervention. It's going to be a nail-biter for sure.
