I thought the Mars Curiosity landing sequence was impressive.

 

This is ESA trying to out wow NASA through imagery.

 

I think they succeed.

The view from today, amazing mankind can do this, send a craft into deep space in 2003, sling shot round several planets to build up speed and rendezvous with a comet traveling at 34,000MPH clocking up a cool 4 billion miles 10 years later!  Then send a landing craft to remotely land on the comet that tumbles through space, most of the math was done when the craft left earth all that time ago, amazing people that run this project!
