Ford Prefect (OP) User ID: 51508342 Brazil 12/15/2013 09:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Assuming that regolith-based soil covered with dust reflects metal, why just a small part of the panel is reflecting, and not the entire piece??

Ford Prefect (OP) User ID: 51508342 Brazil 12/15/2013 09:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm very intrigued by that reflection in the lower right corner. It doesn't behave like a reflection moving on a irregular surface and I don't understand how it's even reflecting in the soil. It's a tough galaxy.

I would have expect more of you after your critique of the Indian Mars Mission ! Quoting: Montclair de Rallo-Tubbs 51582971 My criticism about the Indian Mars mission concerns the waste of money with space programs over investment in basic infrastructure in a country where 70% of the population live like 2 centuries ago, obviously not the Chinese case.

Time for an update of 'footage from the moon' hopefully with A SKYFUL OF STARS etc. :) 1st official snapshot by the lander's camera. [link to n37i.img-up.net] They say the rover will take 5 pics or so, rotating 360° in order to provide a panoramic shot. I just can't wait.

Ford Prefect (OP) User ID: 51508342 Brazil 12/15/2013 11:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nope, I posted just a lousy snapshot from the news video player and it had the same quality of hi-res pictures taken by the Curiosity. I wonder the quality of the raw image downloaded by the comm center. It's a tough galaxy. If you want to survive, you've gotta know...where your towel is. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 29678180 United States 12/15/2013 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What I wanna know is why on NASA Apollo color images the Moon has a grey soil and in the Chinese pics the soil is brown/reddish. Quoting: Ford Prefect for the color question So let me see if I got this right. China can erect a giant skyscraper in 80 day, and go to the Moon, but cannot make a new aircraft carrier? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51468053 Aircraft Carriers are outdated, slow, heavy, wastes resources, moving target, ect. China knows this. |

Exactly, even the US admirals know the df-21 will put every carrier in range on the bottom in the first 5 minutes of a REAL war...wont that be great? 5 or 6 more fuckushimas bubbling away in the pacific... |

Now, in this picture [link to i26i.img-up.net] you are facing it from behind. and the right wing is straight across. AND YOU ARE STILL GETTING THE SAME REFLECTION!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not the same reflection because the rover turned around 360° so that the lander could snap the Chinese flag. That's a reflection of the OTHER panel, but I still don't get what's causing that reflection and why the other metallic parts are not reflecting as well.
