Becklyn Man it's so pretty, but so barren
/dev/codie it looks like the Mohave desert, yes.
/dev/codie just add a few palm trees and a little pond, and we're good to migrate
Becklyn ikr lol
Becklyn I wonder, does it rain on Mars?
/dev/codie no
Becklyn I'd guess not since they haven't found water yet right? lol
Gahum Water basically goes from solid to gas due to the lack of pressure
/dev/codie there's practically no oxygen left in that athmosphere
/dev/codie yep
Becklyn Eenteresting
Gahum the only thing keeping water in the planet is all that sand and rock
/dev/codie there IS or was some water for sure, with all that oxydization around, but pretty sure it doesn't rain
Gahum Without a magnetic field, the sun's solar winds have basically broken water molecules apart and blown the gasses off into space
/dev/codie there's no magnetic pole?
Damo Face Holy shit, if you look down you can see some sort of robot, on Mars, wtf!?
/dev/codie Damo: (troll)
Kalli asks is anyone else waiting to see the google maps van appear in the background?
Becklyn DamienFate:
/dev/codie lol Kalli
/dev/codie im actually surprised that Google didn't team with the Mars Rover team to do just that
/dev/codie well maybe not with a van, but using the Rover to add a Mars Google Map
Damo Face
Becklyn that would be awesome
Becklyn do they do that with the moon??? cuz that'd be cool too lol
/dev/codie would be totally cool
/dev/codie of course it'd probably be partial, but imagine roaming around Mars or the moon with the Google Maps app
Becklyn yeah that would be really awesome
Gahum is it me, or has the most recent images from the lander looked much more like you're viewing someone's photos rather than
Gahum data from a rover?
/dev/codie Dude were far from the first pics with the lens caps on
Gahum Right, that's what I mean
/dev/codie It's crazy how good it looks and the new cams are just sick despite only 2 megapixels
Gahum See, the full on high rez stuff is going to be AMAZING.
Gahum and then... VIDEO.
Angel wow, stunning
Damo Face Video would be good
/dev/codie Video will feel like waking on mars its gonna be amaze balls
Gahum I firmly believe it will feel so much more real when they release that. hell, the descent vid from thumbnails was incredible enough
AvatarBizarre That looks like a great place to fly RC airplanes.
/dev/codie Not many obstacles to fly indeed. And from what i got gravity is MUCH lower than on earth so your RC plane could make it to the orbit! Lol
Gahum Although, the atmosphere is still pretty thin
AvatarBizarre the atmosphere's non existent at the top of Mt. Everest, and that doesn't stop people climbing it :-)
ChefKarl Very cool. I like seeing the tracks on the ground from the early mobility tests.
ElizaS says thanks, that is an amazing view!
Gahum Avatar: uh welll.... that's not what I mean.
Mari says Can't wait to see panoramas from the new rover.
Aliselia wow....
Stan Wow
KatMG WOW!
