Sure, be happy for it, but 15 minutes of hugging and screaming and shit is fucking weird, shouldn't they have mad amounts of data to go throught, you know, do science?


It's because the landing is where there's a significant chance of the project that you've spent the last 5 years of your life on turning into a bunch of scrap metal. I daresay they have a right to celebrate.

They have a lot to be happy about. Some of them might have found out they get to keep their job for a little longer.

Mad amounts of data? It just fucking touched down on Mars. What mad amounts of data?

It's only weird for you cause you didn't devote the time and effort for this one moment which determined whether or not it was all worth it or not. Can you imagine that? You're weirded out by 15 minutes? Seriously?

Probably...

You spend years planning just one thing to go right, ofc you're gonna be happy about it. Just because you don't give a shit doesn't mean the people, whos lives have centered around this, don't.

They will get the data in a while then it will be lots of sciencing. You would probably be pretty ecstatic if the project hundreds of people worked on for years and cost billions of dollars just completed the hardest part of the project.

Keep in mind the Rover just lands better pics, and the real experiments are yet to come.

Then there's the dust that was already in the atmosphere and the tons the rover just kicked up by landing.

so all this for a couple of blurry pics?


yup, the only reason we landed this rover was so it could take a couple of blurry pics within 30 secs of landing. After that we cut off all communications.

....financed by YOUR taxes!

Congrats!!






it would still be totally worth it. I'd rather pay for some exploration than for a tank that may or may not accidentally destroy someone's home in the middle east.

What about for education and healthcare? I am excited as anyone in the Command room about this, but I feel there is not much significant knowledge we can gain with this doing this now. Perhaps a decade or so after when technology is more advanced then it would be more justifiable.

But I'm a science junkie, so anything for science!


Technology NEVER works like this. If everyone waited a decade for technology to get better than technology would never get better. Besides, if you wait 10 years than you'll have to wait another 10 years to wait another 10 years to...This promotes education. This may excite young kids to want to go work for NASA, which could influence education far more than almost anything else could.

It also does help the economy. The people that worked for NASA are part of the economy. The people that built the parts. They bought the metal from people, the cameras(or their parts) from people, the programmers, everything was a part of the economy. The guy currently speaking is actually putting it very well. This is needed. When we put dreaming on hold than the world truly becomes a sad place to live.

Does the Curiosity have color video recording possibility, or does dust covers and stuff prevent that?


Yes, it has high resolution cameras, but it will take time to give power up all instruments -> upload instructions -> download images.

Nuclear powered, hopefully years to come.


Well, NASA built it to last 2 years. So expect it to stop around a decade from now after another NASA project outlives itself four times over. When they build anything they mean it to last.

This is the hope.

I wonder how much money NASA could raise through kickstarter (during such can do times) ^_^


No where near enough to actually do anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Science_Laboratory "The total cost of the MSL project is about US$2.5 billion."



Which the U.S. Military spends in less than a fortnight.


Hey someone has to protect those spaceships from the occupy protesters!
