7 Minutes of Terror
The Martians
This video details the highly complex, never-before-tested landing system being used to land the Mars Curiosity rover safely on the surface of Mars- scheduled to land August 5th, 2012. EDL is referred to as the "7 Minutes of Terror" because it takes 7 minutes to reach the Martian surface from the top of the atmosphere. The entire entry, descent and landing process is so incredibly complex that if just one small thing goes wrong, it's all over for the entire mission.
