That is awesome. NASA must've been pretty chuffed when someone worked out that Mars Orbiter was going to be in a position to take the image. Maybe it was planned?
Either way, still awesome!

During EDL someone at NASA commented that the force exerted on the capsule during parachute deployment would be 9G.
Ouch…
Cheers

That'd get your stomach down your heels.
I suspect they'll work something different for entry when they send people eventually.
