[quote:Engineer 694654:MV8xOTQ4MzY2XzMyNzczMDQ3X0VENTA4QkNC] Before I go to bed: I wanted to see how big of a parachute would be required for Curiosity to land on Mars as hard as a man on Earth using a T10 parachute (approx 16 ft/s) ... sqrt(7500/(.000015*.75*3.1416*1000^2)) = 14.852213 ft/s SO ... even though my previous thinking was that decreasing air density would be much more proportional to increasing velocity, it still turns out that Curiosity would need a parachute 2000ft wide (almost half a mile wide) to land at 15 ft/s! Just to keep things in perspective! (about 10 miles per hour) ... [/quote]

Americans are weird. They are capable of putting a car on the Moon yet at the same time they have people who claim:
