| UndercoverAlien User ID: 21046688  Brazil08/05/2012 05:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People are that stupid to believe that NASA is going to transmit a live broadcast of a rover landing on Gale Crater with hi-res cameras???  You better believe what you're going to see is a fake landing rendered with top notch Hollywood FX. At least during most part of the broadcast, and people won't tell the fucking difference. If I'm not mistaken they used hi-res real database of NASA Mars Reconnaissance for rendering the landscape seen in "John Carter" and that's a fucking creepy real-like shit. If they fake the whole landing in 3D, the sheeple still gonna call NASA and send congrats tweets. You think you're gonna see a real landing?? You won't!!  "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |

Think it will be a delayed signal. So undercoveralien is correct in that sense. Last Edited by Sword of mercy on 08/05/2012 05:39 AM "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! " |

Think it will be a delayed signal. So undercoveralien is correct in that sense. Quoting: Sword of mercy I hear the delay will be 12 minutes. That'll probably be the longest 12 minutes ever for the NASA waiting to see if it worked. What I'd really like to know though is, what's the point of having a Rover on the ground milling around when the surface is covered with a millennia of dust many metres deep. How can you tell what's there under the dirt unless you drill down? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1201183 I think it can be done, It's all in the control software. Look at what "John Carmack" writer of the game "Doom" managed to create with his private company, employing only a handful of good people. This video is not reversed at any part, his rocket goes up and then comes down landing on the same spot. |

They'll be scrubbing hi-res images by the truckload. The cameras on this rover can read the fine security text print on a $1 note from 10ft away. |
