Re: NASA Mars rover image - why am I looking at a road?
Remember those GORGEOUS high-quality color pictures that were taken when we landed on the moon?

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.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18867193


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.

Re: NASA Mars rover image - why am I looking at a road?
if mars has an atmosphere then why didnt nasa just send a human/humans there to check the place out ? we sent humans to the moon in a heart beat and the moon is much more hostile environment than mars . to my knowledge rockets on a parachute would not work unless there is oxygen and a paachute would not work fullstop if there was not air for the chute to catch and slow the craft down.
 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

They supposed to look for a water, right?

yet, they didn't land the shit in the area full of ice (and water) but in the desert, again!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21792602


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.

good point, but you can also study history by studying ice as we do here on earth. all the climatic changes, atmosphere composition can be find in ice too. besides they already sent two other rovers on mars studying rocks (and also on the moon), it would be interesting to search ice too. but they are in charge.

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.

There's no ice build up in space I know that. However, on mars in an ice environment... I assume you would get ice build up. Electronics and ice do not work well with each other.

It is just a fact that 90 percent of people working in Space industry , like in many other examples have no slight idea on what they are really working on.. Compartmentalized systems has turned these normally talking bright people into ultimate imbeciles.. experts in their own field, without having any sense for bigger picture.. but it is also kind of helpless... cinsidering general moranism of this civilization and those pretending they are not primitive predators....
