Cool flight simulation of Mars Viking mission

I dig nerdy space stuff, especially when it's coupled with quasi primitive flight sim graphics. Incidentally, Viking 2 entered Martian orbit 34 years ago today. I am still desperately hoping for a trilobite, earwig, rat-snail, or even a fucking microbe to be discovered there sometime before I die, as I think confirmation of alien life would effectively drag all of us down here on the monkey planet into some semblance of a promising future.

Unrelated aside: This video would be better with a Kyuss soundtrack.
