Ever want to know more about the software behind the Mars space landing?

If you actually got past the title and were really interested in some of the software development behind NASA's most recent Mars space landing, check out this article from O'Reilly.

While I believe software development is still very immature as compared to other "manufacturing" industries, NASA and their selected vendors rank very high in their level of software development maturity.
