Fact ~Curiosity~ Mars landing 6 August

[Aada]

I'd like to see more then dirt though. It's nice dirt, mars dirt and all, but it could be from nevada from those photos

WTF? The planet is just that, DIRT.

Your not going to see lush trees your not going to see rivers flowing down the mountains and your probably not going to see Aliens (like they would ever post the images).

This is Mars.

Btw take off the tin foil hat.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Tinfoil hat? The f*ck

I just would like for them to tilt the camera up, you know, horizon shots, perhaps the sky and so on.

 

[old.user4556]

Strange to think that's it fecking freezing on the surface.

 

[caLLous]

I didn't realise it was quite so mahoosive...

I hope they have some decent cameras on there.

I don't see a laser.

 

[caLLous]

Except for the very obvious laser, I agree with you.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

IT'S NOT ANNOTATED

 

[caLLous]

Except for the very obvious annotation*, I agree with you.

Now that's cool.

 

[Lamp]

Indeed. Only been there for a few days and already got a good coating of Martian dust on it.

That's a different Rover, called Opportunity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_rover

So, NASA tested Morpheus (prototype Mars lander) untethered the other day.

That went well.

A positive result, they now know that setup aint very safe

The science fiction geek in me appreciates the ability and technical excellence it takes to put a robot on Mars. But I'm still struggling to understand the why of it. If they want dirt they're welcome to dig my garden.

It's utterly amazing and completely sad at the same time that rocks are the same all over the solar system.
Except they're not.

 

[Urgat]

Still personally hoping it gets stomped on By Starscream... Cuz that would be awsome

Aluminium wheels over that surface, it must be making a hell of a racket.

Yep, it's sure to wake Marvin.
