Candor Chasma animation using HiRISE DTM

[MrAndersohn]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing !

[rasputinbot]

This is amazing thankyou

[Hypergalactica]

It would do wonders for NASA's PR (and James Cameron) if they sent some helium balloons carrying IMAX 3D cameras to places like this. It would no longer by a dot in the sky; it would be another world, one within our reach. Humans on Mars by 2031!

Great stuff! Having tried to create 3D data from HiRISE I can appreciate how much work this must have been.

WOOOWWWW

Dear MARS3DdotCOM,

I am stunned! What a great piece of Art. I have done a view paintings for my customers (You can find my pictures in my blog), but Your work is mindblowing!

Nice video, but SLOWEST DOWNLOAD EVAR!!! And I was only watching in 480p. I can't imagine how long it would have taken in 720p.

preciosooooo

Mindblowing.

[phaota]

Beautifully done CGI and fly-over, though I wish it had gone down into the massive canyons along the way. The landscape reminds me of Death Valley and parts of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.

FYI: 100m over the surface at 160km/hr

[VideoMikael]

Epic awesomeness.

[Nebula501713]

Oh how I would love to go there, or any other planet, it would be great.

[FissionNonStop]

i will volunteer to go, even if it is a one way trip. i will go

[MrFiale]

What causes the ladder like impressions on the rock/soil that are appearing everywhere ?

Surely we can find people to go there - I would, give me food, water, and a small bio pod with some plants and I'll give it a go. Worst case scenario I die. Maybe I could live long enough to say "yep it's rocky" or a little longer to do something useful.

[mathmatucla]

@MrFiale Main problem: cost-benefit. NASA's budget is tiny and shrinking. 'tis a shame.

[kam75]

@MrFiale ..some are dunes and others are collapsed lava tubes from that I've read.

[TuboEspectador]

With a full screen view, I was able to look back and forth and get, for the first time, a real sensation of flying over Mars. I would however ask that the developers add one preview scene, that of the geological feature from much higher, so we kinda know where we are. I will of course check a globe of Mars. Well done!

[kam75]

@TuboEspectador ..Google HiRise and get all the images from high rez camera in orbit,good stuff.

[joetigger]

The Spice must flow!

Awesome animation. I hope that someday we will be able to settle in Mars.

[cammoguy2]

You wouldn't want to run out of gas out there. Hell of a walk home.

Too bad there's nothing to give a sense of the scale of the place.

[labrialumn]

What is with all the sulci? Are they an artifact of the elevation data?

They could also be rift spreading ridges, of course, but not all of them.

Also remarkable is the lack of suitable landing sites for rovers. I think a blimp with an MRS-style laser vaporiser/spectrometer is required.

[markphysics]

Wow! I am ready to go!

[AlphaGeminorium]

Looks like we flew over a huge old glaciated landscape, where all the C02 glaciers have come and gone over eons.

[generalripper1964]

It needs music. Holst's "Mars: The Bringer of War" has been done before. Maybe Rammstein? ;-)

[stubbygb]

Hopefully within my lifetime, humans will go there.

[Chasm2009]

To boldly go where no man has gone before.

As a species we are programmed to explore and discover the wonders of our star system.

[TuboEspectador]

@stubbygb That's the way to think! Let's be hopeful! I hope you go or see someone go, regardless of which flag.

[sys2074]

it's very quiet on Mars, is it?

[kam75]

@sys2074 ..no air..no sound...

[oneoveralpha]

Wow.

[protopod]

Very nice, well done.

[lepermunna]

awesome!

[stubbygb]

totally amazing

[moje123ful]

WOW !!!
