William Shatner <\/strong>and Wil Wheaton<\/strong> narrate the story of NASA’s latest planetary science mission.<\/p>\n

The video is called Grand Entrance<\/em> and takes viewers from the Mars entry of the Curiosity rover, through descent and then after the landing on the “Red Planet.”<\/p>\n

Launched in November of 2011, Curiosity is nearing Mars. The rover will have just seven minutes to go from a speed of thirteen-thousand miles per hour to a soft landing. The descent and landing process have been named the “seven minutes of terror,” as any unsuccessful step will spell doom for the mission.<\/p>\n

“Shatner and Wheaton are mavericks in inspiring film, TV and social media audiences about space,” said Bert Ulrich<\/strong>, NASA’s film and TV collaborations multimedia liaison. “NASA is thrilled to have them explain a difficult landing sequence in accessible terms that can be understood by many. Thanks to their generous support, Mars exploration will reach Tweeters, Trekkies and beyond!”<\/p>\n

Shatner’s video can be seen here<\/a>, and Wheaton’s can be accessed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
