Well, the rover has been driving around on Mars since last August, drilling holes, shooting lasers at rocks, etc. But few have seen what the landing looked like from the rover itself. NASA recently released a high resolution video of the landing as shot from the rover's own cameras, and added a sound track to it (there aren't any microphones on the rover). What you see below is actual footage -- not computer animation. At first, it's dark, then the heat shield falls off. It glides down on the parachute for a while, and then the landing rockets fire.
