   So much propulsion joy! The video at the link is truly great. The rough landing reminded me of a bad touch-down in a game of lunar lander.

   Cool stuff, yay! Rocket science. The legs definitely don’t have a lot of give to them.

   Ha! My physics teacher showed us the video of the landing… because he’s one of the guys who works on it. Pretty cool to have a real live rocket scientist for a physics teacher.

   Hey, they showed this again last night on Daily Planet (Discovery Channel Canada) because the reruns are being shown since this week.

   The video is obviously not from the X-Prize because what I saw on Daily Planet at the X-Prize, the leg broke on the first landing and when something was engineered to compensate, the whole thing fell sideways on the second landing. So this video show the success that was expected several months ago. Good!

   That’s way too cool. That’s not an autonomous craft that did all the adjustments on its own is it?

   Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Anti Gravity, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
