Re: Curiouser and Curiouser: Curiosity Mars Rover
A brief interview with Paolo Bellutta the driver of Curiosity by Stu at the galegazette.. I've driven through Rome and from my experience I must say I'm glad an Italian is at the wheel.
Here's a mosaic of the "Promised land" (yes, they're calling it that, the buggers) here from HiRise the orbiting relay and camera satelite, zoom in for details Last edited by ogham; 29th August 2012 at 12:36 PM. Reason: clarity

3D panorama from Curiosity.
Go here. Just do it. Particularly if you have an iphone. Works for PC too, just not as nice.

That looks astonishing, it really does. My son was captivated, and just kept saying: "It's actually another planet!"
For a kid raised in the era of spectacular movies and dazzling visual effects, it's gratifying to see that REAL images from another world are that much more impressive.
