Its kind of amazing how fast they can get an image back from a rover that's a bzillion miles away. Even if it's a 1999 webcam quality image

Nah they didnt miss. They performed some advanced lithobraking maneuvers that the rover couldnt handle.

Ha, the auto-captions called NASA administrator Steve Jurczyk "Jurassic Steve". I don't think he has anything to complain about, though; that's a pretty cool nickname.

Did they finally put olfactory sensors on this one? I think it's very important we know what Mars smells like.

Ventral EggSac posted:Wasn't that cause of the US not using the metric system and they forgot to convert units or am I making that up? I think they actually smashed it into the planet because it ended up on a way lower trajectory than planned because of conversion fuckups. The US actually has a pretty good record for landing things on Mars. It's other countries, particularly Russia, that have this weird inability to consistently do this thing we have a pretty reasonable success rate at doing. Though I did learn that China joined the "Sent poo poo to Mars successfully" club this month and will be attempting a probe landing later this year.

Didn't israel crash a bunch of tardigrades on the moon? Humanity might've polluted the moon with things that can actually survive there
