yea, that was done with rocket landings, and nuclear reactors. This one has even better electronics, an inferior power supply(the cells will get covered with dust,pitted eventually,the reactor let them keep the probes up for about 5 years), and has broadband. They got video of the way down and the bouncing appearently.

It is really amazing to watch the press conference. The joy and enthusiasm and expectation of the scientists is so radiant.
Great achievement NASA. It will be exciting to follow in the coming months.

I have often wondered why this simple thing keeps getting in the way. Ever hear of a windshield wiper?  A little thing like this would extend the life of a solar cell ENORMOUSLY.
Anyway, I can't see anything on TV about it at work. Can anybody post some links to updates about this?
