Success.

That landing was clearly fake, you could totally see the computer graphics.

[Mik]

Very, very cool.

I watched with fascination.

The AI alone to help with the landing was amazing.

Yes, that is nice stuff.

Imagine the difference with the approach and landing computer used on Viking in 1976. Of course that Viking landing was a lot different, there weren't so many complex events.
