The NASA coverage is more like a television broadcast. It has an anchor.

I've been trying to suggest this as a theme song. There are at least some bits that work.
Mars to Rover...

Orbiter took a picture of the rover parachuting to Mars.

^^ Indeed, LD. The modern world.
It is impressive in so many ways to have a satellite that orbits Mars snap a photo of another craft in the process of landing.
This panorama is from one of the existing Rovers but it's is a cool look at the Martian landscape (Add: this is made from old images -- not from the Curiosity rover):

LOL ~ Wow Dr. J, that's quite an impressive Martian Mall we have happening there on the surface already. Is it live or a memory recall implant? Just another few days and a trip to Mars will be a vacation option. ![[Image: rolleye0003.gif]](http://www.emoticonsfree.org/wp-content/uploads/rolleye0003.gif)

The panorama is several years old - just showed up on a search.
But here is some stop-motion video taken by the Curiosity rover as it descended:
