Anonymous Coward User ID: 1634456 Australia 08/13/2012 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can someone enlighten me on why the Curiosity rover would need a four day software update? I mean why wouldn't it have been sent with everything it needed from the start. Has technology advanced that much since they launched it? I guess I've never really paid attention, but I don't recall other rovers and satellites requiring an update so soon. Just trying to wrap my mind around this one. Quoting: curious curiosity 18712859 First off, when they sent it there is was only sent with limited software, and because it takes a long time to get there they need to update it to current date.. that's all and because it is so far away it takes time, they send an update wait for it to get there then they send test to see if it made it then they have to wait for the rover to send back the confirmations. So in short they have to do this with every single 1.. that's why it takes so long.. I dont think so. couldnt they send it like a torrent. in small packets. and it just grabs what it can until it gets 100% then send a confirmation? why send a few packets then wait for a return signal.... SLOW!!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18372701 United States 08/13/2012 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is also evidence that NASA "edited" the photos to make the planet "redder" than it really is. The "mountains" on mars are actually has green spots. Grass? Weed? hmm Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18372701 Umm yeah.. because they weren't colored photos and they color them in. Now there is a camera that captures the color. A bunch of fools out there take the pictures and change saturation levels and toy with the images trying to claim "ohhhh, here is the original!". Don't fall for it. Some people just need something crazy to believe in. Nope! He didn't mess with the saturation. It's on youtube. [link to www.youtube.com] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19117826 It is not a UFO you tinfoil heads!!!!! Well it is a UFO by definition. As in "UN-identified Flying Object". Whether that object is an "Alien" or "Marvin the Martian" who knows. You need to get an education and learn the definition of a UFO actually is. Personally I have no idea what it is and am not swayed either way. |
