Am I the only person who instantly thought about the Lunar Landing game when the video showed the simulation of the landing?

Correct again Dr W
Thanks Deathshroud
Excellent video.
NP, I figure I don't post much so I should try to make it count.

LOL. "Why did they program me to feel pain?!?!?!?!"
To have true AI you need to consider the Turing Test and all of its derivatives. Do you think it is AI that causes your check engine light to turn on?
You achieve AI when a human being can not tell if it's interacting with another person or program.
edit: Computer Science in the house, bitch.
Its not just "the last bit" that is automated, the whole landing has to be because transmissions from mars take ten minutes to reach earth, as it said in the video. Because the landing is seven minutes long, this means the entire landing must be automated.

Who said the landing of a spacecraft couldn't be perceived to be human driven, when in fact it is automated?

ps
why didn't they use air bags for the actual landing instead of the (as it seems) ridiculously difficult rocket balanced free fall.?

You could, like, click the link to get yourself to a site/page related to the project, and then like, look around.
IT IS NOT HARD TO FIND.

That's awesome!
I hope it sends back some mineral data and doesn't open up a hell portal or two.

the way I see it , if they find anything of importance big brother will douche bag it all the way
so the only way we'll get the truth is if they find absolutely nothing.
sounds like a shit deal either way
