They're NASA, what do you expect? I say we give them nothing, UNTIL they reveal the exciting stuff, i.e E.T life. If there's really nothing exciting, well then, why should we fund them? Why waste billions just to look at a bunch of pictures of rocks?

Practically, you cannot colonize Mars.

The potential of finding life is just one of the reasons we should spend the money on missions like this. It is most certainly not a waste. Here are a few more reasons............en.wikipedia.org...




By the way, the US is projected to spend over 1.4 trillion in "defense" related programs this year. That is nearly twice the amount NASA has received since it was created(around 790 billion when adjusted for inflation).

The photo before they went off the air I mean.

THat one had an artifact. The guy a little bit before showing it turned his laptop to his partners and said "becauce I need to show this off" or something like that. Then the buzz started. Everybody was talking about it i think at least around the guy showing the picture.

Then they went off the air and I turned up my speakers really loud to hear what they would say because they're still going and think the stream is done. Before it entirely cuts out I hear that guy in the blue shirt (forget his name) say "#ing terrible"

I think they found something.. Because what I saw got my attention right away. I had a feeling I should stay up and watch that..

First pictures.





I am a little bit slow here so forgive me if the pictures already have been posted.

Could have been the top left picture that is all messed up?

hmm.. i wish i could have caught that. I was too busy researching more on this mission to mars that i missed alot of stuff.

Ha ha I had the same thought when I watched the live-feed.
"What if something comes up that they do not want us to see!"
Though I started to watch just about 20 minutes ago and have to leave the house now. Going to watch more as soon as I come back home.

Thanks
To say the least! Woohoo!!

Well as much as it would be totally cool to find something, unless it was staring right back into the camera lens I'm not sure they can see any better resolution than whats uploaded.

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they haven't uploaded the pics from the 2nd fly-by yet. They showed the rear haz cams facing the sun on the horizon. I want to say the picture everyone was getting excited about was the front facing haz cam, but I accidentally closed out of ustream before any of that went down

Apparently this is one of the first pictures the rover took... has anyone seen this? Is it real or fake?

Yea it looked like they made a panoramic of the front cams. Was gonna take a screenshot but it kept pixelating.

I don't know if I am being stupid or not, but the live pictures that we are able to see via.............................

www.ustream.tv...

Wouldn't they be shown on a delay just in case there is something that NASA do not want us to see???

lol pretty cool and not bad photoshop but unfortunately fake

I feel like a fool for not hitting print screen or something and uploading it myself.

I honestly firmly believe what I saw was a genuine UFO. It could also have been the sun reflection in 1 little seamless perfect circle and no where else on screen. But I'm going with it being an object. I mean the whole place was all ecstatic about it. We all watched it. I just payed close attention.

Now I fear they will never release the photo. It was the photo at the end of the feed if anybody recorded it. Man I hope somebody did.

They were delayed a few seconds, but the times matched up with what the descent and landing as posted earlier this week.

Okay, very interesting..............Would be nice to think that we are all experiencing the same thing together at the same time in our various time zones across the globe..................cheers

Yayyyy it worked. I went to be in the UK knowing it would land at 5:30am GMT, woke up with my fingers crossed.

Curiosity has yet to kill this cat!

Here's a replay of the post-landing press conference over on livestream, not as good of quality but... maybe they'll go on to show the segment containing the next batch of pictures?
