Mars Curiosity Descent video in real time

[TheCrusader]

As it happens, my cousin worked on the descent stage boosters for Curiosity.

This video is the some 1000 images taken during the descent stage, and seamed together to create a 30fps video of the descent stage, the video is therefore real, the sound is added for effect.
