Touchdown confirmed woooo. Great stuff. Waiting for first images
Pretty awesome.
I really dislike the cgi showing it flying around. If it’s not from a real image I don’t want to see it. People are to dumb to not realize it’s fake.
I'm torn on that, because without the visualization you would only have a camera of the control room, some data, and mission control audio (which was one of the streams I linked, so it was available). But just listening to audio doesn't really generate the interest or understanding of exactly what's going on. So I personally like it, even though I agree it will be misinterpreted by many
They will have footage of the landing itself but it takes time to get it transmitted. They can't do a "live" video feed of something like this because it takes something like 6 minutes for the radio waves to travel the distance, much farther than the moon.
It's more like 12 minutes.
It depends where Mars is in relation to the earth, it varies.
I missed it.
Thanks for posting the pics as highlights. Is there a short video that shows the landing happen or any movement of it on the ground yet?
I read somewhere they had two mics to record audio from the surface? That might be interesting.
