That was mesmerizing! The mathematics are incredible - the idea of shooting something at an empty spot in space, knowing that in precisely seven months, x number of days, hours and minutes, that's where Mars will be... and that they can land the thing in the exact SPOT on Mars that they want to. Amazing. Thanks, Amy!
