This question is in regards to the parachute for landing Curiosity. I viewed all the parachute video on this portal (Be a martian) and then thought about the thin atmosphere on Mars. How does the thin atmosphere on Mars affect the length of time the parachute
needs to "work" in order slow down the decent? Would the the parachute need the same amount of time before landing on Earth as on Mars?
