NASA Mars rover image - why am I looking at a road? | |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18867193 You know, the ones that were taken from a chest mounted camera and which had better exposure, shutter and every other setting made perfect on a camera from 1968 which wasn't affected by radiation, moon dust or anything else and no matter where you shot it, the picture was neither under or over-exposed. No, I don't remember that one. Maybe you are imagining it. The mission I saw had copious exposure errors, aim errors, mis-fires, sun glare, and dust on the lens. I can't think of a single picture from Apollo 11 that is "perfect." (The closest is the signature Aldrin pic -- which was tilted and had his head cut off, but was otherwise dramatically framed.) All you have to do is to go to any of the comprehensive online image catalogs and look. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3834569 Hehehe. Rockets carry their own oxidizer. As do explosives, including lowly gunpowder. (And here I am, explaining GUNPOWDER to a man from the country that invented it!) In the case of Curiosity, it was a hydrazine monopropellant which decomposes energetically (it is used as an industrial foaming agent) in the presence of an iridium catalyst. See the following reactions: # 3 N2H4 → 4 NH3 + N2 # N2H4 → N2 + 2 H2 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21780518 yet, they didn't land the shit in the area full of ice (and water) but in the desert, again! [link to www.spacestationinfo.com] anyone? They landed in gale grater not in the search of actual water, but because the layers of rock will show the history of the planet. The layers of rock stores the planets history, thus the answer to whether there was once life on Mars. This process will take year, because they don't know how to drive a rover through a camera lens very well. |

Have to consider if the equipment could withstand the cold temperatures too. I know mars is colder than earth and mechanical objects have a fairly hard time not breaking on the south and north poles of earth. Not immediately, but over time from the long exposure to cold. I can imagine the north pole on mars that contains ice is much colder than earth's. |
