Mars landing

[Rogue Hawk]

Even if we go extinct, at least it can be said the human race achieved great things like this.

 

[RICZ]

That is truly out of this world. And to add to this feat, they will be flying a drone....from earth.

But if we go extinct, who would be left to say that?? :dontknow:



Just sayin' :thumbup:

It most certainly is an amazing scientific accomplishment. Regarding flying the drone, since it takes approximately 11 min for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Mars NASA will probably have to send the entire flight program beforehand and then simply watch to see completely autonomous flight. For all we know now it probably has already been transmitted or it may have been programmed in before launch seven months ago.

I wonder how well the Martian's GPS satellite network will work with an Earth based GPS routing app??????? :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack:

Thank God the conspiracy theorists got it wrong and the Martians didn't shoot it down before it landed!!!!!!

I wonder how the world would flip out if a big ass alien creature was caught on camera destroying the rover !! Mars? Scratch that

 

[JayBros]

Do the Martians have BaseCamp?

Well, what if 100K years goes bye, and some space faring civilization comes across a long lifeless planet. But finds our machines, dead but still in orbit and sitting on two other worlds. Certainly they would be far more advanced, but they would likely understand and appreciate the achievement having gone through it themselfs.

I beg to differ we are the advanced ones.................

All the computers that have taken over. But then one of them will say that it couldn't have been done without his great, great, great grandmotherboard. :roflblack:
