A mission to Mars is never a guaranteed success. During the first of two landings in the Mars Exploration Rover mission, scientists and engineers were full of anticipation and anxiety the night that Spirit was due to land. Would the rover land safely and be able to complete its mission to find out about the geological history of the planet? In this video segment from NOVA, take part in the excitement of the Mars landing and the beginning of a new era of space exploration.
