Very detailed explanation of everything - except the power source.

Is it solar like the last two which means a possible extended life - or something else.

AThis is remarkable. Is there an animated rendition of the flight and landing?

How long will it take until it arrives on Mars?

Also, what happens to the sky crane once Curiosity is dropped off? Does it fly off?

This is incredible....

I’m standing in the parking lot of the VAB waiting to see the launch right now. A few sprinkles and some wind but they apparently don’t think it’s a problem.
