WE PUT WALL-E ON MARS?!!! WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM!

[mesofius]

@ormaneric WALL-E was put there in 1997, this is WALL-E-Third Generation, lol

[ormaneric]

that space rover created the first sounds in that area of those nature ever. how cool is that?

[mesofius]

@ormaneric But there was no one to hear them...

[ormaneric]

Isn't it weird to think you can't breathe there?

[mesofius]

@ormaneric you can... for a second or so

[AboveElevated]

@ Around 2:20 , there is WATER?

[mesofius]

@AboveElevated That's not water, just a crater, but there is liquid water on Mars, just click on the uploader's profile and see for yourself...

[AboveElevated]

@mesofius Really? It really looked like Water to me with waves and all but I guess you're right. Going to check out his profile.

[rohnahh]

was that a FLAT surface I noticed?? without any crater nor hill, ridge or.. dunno, how about a mountain? Horizon was a straight line. I never pictured Mars as flat as a frying pan. Interesting fact it seems.

[mesofius]

@rohnahh There were craters and ridges, you just didn't pay enough attention to the video. But Mars is very diverse, it has the greatest mountains and canyons in the Solar System, but also endless (figuratively speaking) frozen deserts.

[vlecka]

In the upper left corner there are the numbers of every picture. The video starts with picture number 1659, where are the previous 1658 pictures? They are "Top Secret" or what?

[SpaceChronologyCom]

@vlecka Those images were showing an abundance of martians, consequently they had to be destroyed.

[vlecka]

@SpaceChronologyCom I didn't say that it's a conspiracy theory...I just asked why are the previous pictures not shown in the video. Maybe it's even true what you're saying... :)

[shkolarac]

i think i have a kind of seasick watching this pics :)

[acascentrala]

Hebiga ova NASA nema ni kolor kameru. Dajte im neki dinar...

[dino11112]

Mars is beautiful in its own way. :')

[Tommyr]

Absolutely STUNNING! How cool is THAT?!

[MrPatrikpoo]

1 big desert waiting to become 1 big awsome Las Vegas :)

[delilahzemani]

at 41 second of 2:59 at the right upper corner there is a silver object look like an ufo..

[SuperArch251]

@delilahzemani I don't know what it is but it looks very interesting. It makes you think what type of object would be scouting or hovering the Martian sky?

[mesofius]

@delilahzemani Quick, savor the moment before NASA airbrushes it out!

[1Florennt]

Interesting : )))

[lukach4mostar]

Why are the images in black-white tehnique?

[SpaceChronologyCom]

@lukach4mostar They are easier to transmit to Earth, these are only for navigation purposes.

[blackthornix]

@SpaceChronologyCom this is the 21st century... do you really think people will buy into that? black in white? come on man...

[SpaceChronologyCom]

@blackthornix Navigation cameras are always transmitting in low-resolution black and white format. The rover has very little power, which it needs to power machinery and analyze data. High-resolution images are taken periodically, when views of interest present themselves, otherwise these images satisfy every requirement for navigation purposes. The new Curiosity rover that will land in 2012 will have substantially more power and will have three cameras transmitting in high-resolution.

[zharkoo]

@SpaceChronologyCom do you plan to make the data arriving from the new rover Curiosity available for public? If I can see these images as they arrive from Mars I think I will spend a lot of time looking at them...

[mesofius]

@blackthornix lol, do you want the rover to waste 90% of its power to send beautiful color pictures every 5 minutes? Besides, color doesn't mean anything to a robot, full spectrum encompasses more than what we can see and it's useful in detecting resources, not moving around.

[radmakralj55]

“We actually try to avoid the term ‘true color’ because nobody really knows precisely what the ‘truth’ is on Mars,” said Jim Bell, the lead scientist for the Pancam color imaging system on the Mars Exploratio​n Rovers (MER). In fact, Bell pointed out, on Mars, as well as Earth, color changes all the time: whether it’s cloudy or clear, the sun is high or low, or if there are variations in how much dust is in the atmosphere​. “Colors change from moment to moment. It’s a dynamic thing. ’”​

[MADRIDISTA941]

Very similar like on Earth . Just need some humans :D

[monkey0in0a0cage]

Beautiful :O

[alenbudalen]

Needs more aliens.
