To celebrate Curiosity's 5-year anniversary, NASA released amazing time-lapse footage that spans Curiosity's time on Mars, so far. We can't wait to see what Curiosity finds next.

Great Video .... watching the surface of another Planet so far away is a credit to those who made this happen.

What would Galileo say if he could see this ....

It's not the fastest machine but fantastic to see because it makes Mars seem more like a 'real' place.

Watching it I just had an enhanced sense of the scale of the universe, with countless places like this, covered in rock and sand and ice, some struck by lightning, incredible wind speeds, surrounded by colourful atmospheres and maybe even a couple sunrises per day (although what is defined as a day in that case?).

They have it on the set next to where they faked the Moon landing.

No conspiracy, we just have to ask Mr. Stanley Kubrick, but too late as he was murdered unfortunately.

Must be in the desert around Area 52 I guess.

I guess the Soviet Venera missions were all faked and filmed in Siberia or Kazakhstan or somewhere according to this reasoning.

Let's ignore also the fact the Russian Roscosmos acknowledge the reality of the US missions on Mars. As do the Chinese. Not to mention the acknowledgement of the legitimacy of all the lunar missions.

Global conspiracy, to achieve WHAT?

Why must there be some cretins who go through life determined to belittle the achievement of mankind?

One is only so blind as one wants to be, and a Blindman surely is totally and legally caecus.

LewisM, calm down, I just do not believe everything NASA feed us with, considering the fact they are spinning Earth in wrong direction in order to explain eclipse this month in USA. OK?
Freedom of thinking, that's all.

I never would have thought that NASA was that powerful.

Blindman go get a dose of reality check.

Atlas shrugged...literally

Please don't feed the Trolls.

And please don't quote their posts as this makes my use of the 'ignore this user' function null and void.....

Back to reality, the Mars video has to be the best thing I have seen in this General Chat area for a long time, thanks for the linky.

C'mon Matt, you need to laugh about NASA changing the spin direction of Earth....surely you felt that massive lurch as the Earth's molten core with mega-trillion kg m/s momentum (not to mention plate tectonics) was forced into reverse...and yet oddly, the Moon still rotates the same direction...

I just put the car in neutral and got to my destination free, at several thousand km/h.... ��

LewisM · #18 11-08-2017, 09:48 AM

Snap! That's right the Earth is hollow or flat, that is why we didn't notice it

That video is awesome.

Heaps of aussies working at JPL with Curiosity. Actually nearly all of them.

My young bloke usually sits with me as I have breakfast and watches minecraft videos. It was nice to divert him for a few minutes this morning with the Curiosity timelapse.
