Incredible Animation from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Thanks to Michael Yon, I was prompted to watch this incredibly good animation from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that does an outstanding job presenting a visual display of what makes NASA's Curiosity Rover so amazing -- including how it got to Mars, and what it will be doing there.

Congrats to all involved who made this happen.
