Orion Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Paul got his jimmies rustled by Mowgli? Isn't that how most conversations between to people of immensely different intelligence levels normally go? Space is the only thing that has any chance of saving us from ourselves, besides God.

Two-fold, actually, if you think that anyone believes your jimmies remain unrustled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Watched the whole thing live. Faith in humanity points, +200. +1 Us putting a Robot on a dead planet definitely restores my faith in humanity. We will suddenly be a peaceful society where individuals all take responsibility for their decisions. We will stop killing unborn kids, murders will disappear, divorce rate will be 0%, there will be no more child molestors, rapists, thieves, liars, biggots, etc. Faith in humanity now ='s 100%.

MaTS1200 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I really hope that after spending $2.5B on this mission that someone thought to mount a high definition color camera on that thing. It looks like the first few photos on the ground are black and white. I would have personally pitched in the extra $250 for a decent high def color camera.

SHIEF Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thirty bucks says the only guys who don't care drive trucks and/or work shit-, I mean blue-collar, jobs. Yeah, I'm an elitist dick.

Give them time they have to make sure all is well and go through all their steps before we get into the good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the first few photos on the ground are black and white. I would have personally pitched in the extra $250 for a decent high def color camera. The first few photos were from a camera with a clear lens cap on it. The sky crane caused much dust to accumulate as it hovered from the rockets before the rover was gently placed on the surface. I seriously hope you read more before you post again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the first few photos on the ground are black and white. I would have personally pitched in the extra $250 for a decent high def color camera. The cameras are only 2 megapixels for a number of reasons. One is based on the data rates and lack of speed when sending them back to earth. It's all coming over a UHF attenna with get this.....250 megabits per day. The other is simple that the specifications back in 2004 are fixed and can't be changed. You can't simple propose one spec and then go with another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 One is based on the data rates and lack of speed when sending them back to earth. It's all coming over a UHF attenna with get this.....250 megabits per day. I hadn't taken the time to look this up, but I assumed their bandwidth was pretty choked. It's not like you can plug the rover into a Roadrunner connection. Between the data involved, and the super low power consumption requirement I can't see much point in super high res pictures. We have a lot of pictures from the surface, I figured they would be more about the mineral analysis of the soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm more interested in the data, too, at this point. If I want high res pics of the surface, I'll google Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Besides, you don't really have to pay scientists. From all the movies I've seen, isn't it proper to kill the scientists after they help you hatch your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I was YooToobing, trying to find pics/vids/whatever from Curiousity, when I stumbled over this gem of a video. Srsly, I don't know where 45minutes just went. Well done and my mind asploded comprehending the logistics of a manned mission to Mars. Some of the info I knew, but it all put things into perspective. Good luck to whomever first lands on Mars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
