External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Mars Science Laboratory. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20080918035844/http://www.baesystems.com///BAEProd/groups/public/documents/bae_publication/bae_pdf_eis_2008-08-1.pdf to http://www.baesystems.com/BAEProd/groups/public/documents/bae_publication/bae_pdf_eis_2008-08-1.pdf

retropropulsion

All of the links to everything about "supersonic retro-propulsion" seem like confusing circular facades. We need an actual explanation of what "retropropulsion" is. A maze of redirects is not sufficient.-71.174.176.65 (talk) 17:08, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I added an intralink to retrorockets for you to read. Unlike the Moon, Mars has an atmosphere that makes use of retrorockets a complex event. As to why it is destabilizing: imagine descending at supersonic speed through the rocket exhaust plumes. I think the Red Dragon lander team will place their retrorockets on the sides of the lander, so the plumes will be in minimum contact with the heat shield. Also the Red Dragon will have an airfoil with a lot of drag. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 17:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for that link to retrorockets! It should probably be added to a number of articles... Even tho I have a good tech background, when I first encountered the phrase "supersonic retro-propulsion" in the news today I was imagining this was some exotic futuristic "supersonic" propulsion engine technology. Now I am instead supposing we are just discussing generic retrorockets operating in a supersonic external atmosphere context? Any article that uses any form of these phrases needs to add a few words of very basic orientation-explanation, and link to an article that actually explicitly further explains the words and concepts etc.-71.174.176.65 (talk) 18:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
