Video: Curiosity’s Descent To Mars
“The Curiosity Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) captured the rover’s descent to the surface of the Red Planet. The instrument shot 4 fps video from heatshield separation to the ground.”

     Doesn’t look like much but way better than nothing!
    I heard there would be HD… ahhh “The video of Curiosity’s descent is a bit fuzzy, because the MARDI
    images were compressed substantially before Curiosity sent them back to
    Earth. The full-resolution photos should be spectacular, but they’ll
    take a while to trickle in, said MARDI principal investigator Mike
    Malin.”
