For those who haven't seen it, JPL has a nice animated simulation of the landing. It operates in realtime, with a button to advance to just before the time of the landing:
It requires Java, and you'll need to grant it permission to run.
That was fantastic, thanks for sharing. I wonder if they use Celestia or something to create that. I would really like to know how they created that.
It certainly looks similar—one thing you might have noticed is that the entire rest of the solar system (including some mid-sized asteroids) is in there and decently textured. Really terrific!
