    Good Luck – and I mean that in in both a sarcastic way (all those systems operating perfectly, geez…) and Good Luck in an encouraging way.

      It’s pretty amazing what they can do with technology, but I hear you on this one. I mean, I have all the faith in NASA and their engineers and scientists but this system seems kind of ridiculously complex.

      It will also be the most incredible landing by an unmanned craft.
      I will be on the edge of my seat when they start their landing sequence.
      I wish them nothing but luck.
