Moneyless Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 exactly what I thought... They totally goofed this one up by not having a camera crew on the ground videotaping the landing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 How long does a signal take to get to us from Mars?It varies per distance of the two orbits, but right now I think it's 14 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I thought it was 13 but who is counting right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I thought it was 13 but who is counting right 14 when your covering up alien life forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Its 2012, so I hope the special effects are at least better than the moon film they made in 1969. If its just the same footage with the red-balance turned up, I'm going to be pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 If what I've read about this lander is true the possibilities for study are amazing. It is larger and better supplied with instruments capable of really looking for alien life at even microscopic levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
