I'm massively excited by this - so cool. To make it a bit more complicated perhaps it could play a tune on a harmonica on the way down, so many things to go wrong.

Plus, obligatory William Shatner edit: I'm. Massively. Excited. By This.

Why don't we have one of these on the Moon ?

Would be great fun for school kids to use live. Its only about a 9 second time delay. Mars is 8 minutes.

How did this get designed...

"Yea I'll take another shot. Wait a second! <burp> What if we lower it down to the surface with an overly complicated "sky crane" system. Ha Ha just kidding. Jeesh, if we only could have figured out how to get those friggin laser beams on those sharks we wouldn't be stuck in this stupid NASA job."

NASA describes it as the "seven minutes of terror".

Very ambitious. God Speed.
