Mars Rover Spots UFO on Mars | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21825324 Spain 08/13/2012 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It could be one of the two orbiting satellites we have going around Mars. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21012730 The satellites collaborate with the mars rover. but one of them seems to fly straight up the screen, admitedly it could be orbiting and passing toward camera. then another (or same object) is seen flying across left to right and parallel with the horizon. so it would have to be a shot showing BOTH orbiting satelittes passing within seconds of eachother. odds on that seem small? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21851523 United States 08/13/2012 08:52 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12774950 Canada 08/13/2012 08:53 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.. |

Why not just send it up there with windows 98 to begin with? |

Quoting: curious curiosity 18712859 Software updates are normal. It takes 4 days because they want to be very sure they don't fuck something up. What's the darn download speed from Mars. LOL |

Because software is REALLY heavy and they didn't have the lifting capability to do so. So, they had to put a small amount of software in there and send the rest by FedEX, cuz you know..."When it Absolutely, Positively has to be there overnight...except Mars, it takes 4 days". |

Maybe the real problem was it was sent USPS! Snail Mail! You got that right! You know, they probably ran out of money...had to launch during the planned launch window...and when they received more funding, hired a consultant to right the code and that's why they need to send it now. "Hi Mom, send money!" |

It is clearly a flare flash on the camera causing a fucktard meltdown on Pluto. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21841759 You dumb bitches. ^^^This...I was going to say that but in a much more bitter and pissed off tone. But I also just discovered it COULD NOT be from Pluto because Pluto is behind Uranus at this particular moment. So it must be Uranus. And um...YEAH You dumb bitches!!! |
