My internet connection cut off whilst this was getting recorded, so at least some of this will be fresh!

Every time I watch video of the Curiosity landing procedure, I become re-convinced that it will never work. Even though it already has.
Who's crazy now, eh? Eh?
Hold on, let me think about that.

I can't think about space too much because it makes me feel that we failed as a species.

SO what happened to the flying sky crane part? Did it just kamikaze into the side of a mountain?

Pretty much.
A few days after the landing, someone stitched together a stabilized version of the video from the orbiter, and you can actually see (read: two pixels) of a poof off to one side.

Somehow I convinced myself that it was flying around like a flying saucer doing probe stuff. I have no one to blame but myself for my disappointment.

Great show, guys!
Regarding Tesla, they're no longer making the Roadster. They've moved on to the Model S sedan, which--just three years later--is way better in every way.
