You do understand that HD video takes a long time to transfer from Mars 35 million miles, There is no broadband internet in space. This is the low resolution version and the HD videos and photos are coming up soon. chill out.

Yea, I looked it up, they probably have the data but it takes a few days to decode it.

Actually it takes about 20 minutes to send data back and forth from Mars. At least that's what I have heard.

I want to see the video of the landing, I though there was some camera video showing the shield jettison and the rocket pack lowering it gently to the ground. What an accomplishment both for human engineering, robotics, computers and ai. We never could have pulled this off twenty five years ago I have no doubt. Hey obummer fund our space program you fool.
