    Thanks for the link, I’m watching the IPTV feed, at the moment.
    It’s really interesting, and aimed at a general audience - pity it’s not advertised more widely.

    Top comment so far on the chat box: "Mars is flat?".
    Might be an ideal to close the live chat module, as it nears 1/2m key tappers.

    Because of the light delay between Earth and Mars all the comms are about 8 minutes delayed.

    First image. The dust cover is still on the camera lens hence the spots of dust and will pop off later.

    Marvin, I told you to take out the unwelcome visitor from Earth during atmosphere entry when the NASA nerds can't see it.
    Now you're going to have to find it on the ground and fake some sort of accident. Again.

    Surprised there wasn't a live feed of the landing itself, it is 2018 like, cameras do exist now.

    No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinised as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us...

    It may be 2018, but I think many folks don't get how scarily far away Mars is from Earth. The distance involved for a signal to cross is almost beyond comprehension outside of the raw numbers involved. think about it this way, light is the fastest thing in the known universe and it takes between six to eight minutes to get from here to there. And that's motoring along at 186,000 miles per second. The power required to send say high def live images from Mars to Earth would be large, the antenna needed to send the signals massive. That we see any sort of semi live images at all from such a small craft with a tiny aerial running not much power is a wonder of technology.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
