Hopefully soon. I know if someone was doing this on my planet, I'd be harassing this thing non-stop.

The high-res video it took is going to be fucking amazing.

In the final few minutes, a high-definition camera will begin recording video. "It does eight frames per second, high-definition-quality video from the backshell coming off [all the way] to the ground," said project manager Pete Theisinger. "So it's a lot of data, it'll take a long time to get it back. But it should be a tremendous movie when it does."

Those pictures are very low resolution, measured in 10s of kilobytes. Just a bone thrown to the public and the engineers to show that it's really there. We'll be getting high resolution stills and video in a few short days.

Lol. NBC needs a 6 hour tape delay to broadcast the Olympics from 3000 miles away. NASA needs 15 minutes to broadcast images from 150,000,000 miles away.

There aren't any Rite Aids on Mars to process the pictures locally.

Yeah, but do they have Andrea Kremer interviewing the robot's mom?
