Does anyone know if all of the first-flight systems on this beast have passed a NAR? A rocket-driven helicopter just seems like a crazy way to land, but what do I know.If S.A. Stern reconquers E Street, look for MSL to have to dodge at least one cancellation or descope bullet.
Recorded view from ustream of the MSL in its clean room:http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1184161
