The launch sequence isn't what scares me on this mission, it's that landing
sequence.  That is a controls engineering trick that will impress me
bigtime, if it works, but will not surprise me a bit if it fails.  Landing
something like Curiosity in the JPL way is one of those things Ray Charles
would agree is hard even after you know how to do it.

Good luck Curiosity!
