Guest ruiagnelo Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 All the planets in our solar system are just Earth in different stages of evolution. For instance, Venus is Earth's past, and Mars is Earth's future. /woahdude From my honestly reduced knowledge in terms of the cosmos, i have always seen it this way, and never believed we are alone in the universe. The existence of life requires, in the first place, an ideal location in relation to a star like the sun, so it is hard for me to believe that no other planet had the chance of growing life forms and going trough a similar evolutional process. I am sure we could be light years ahead in terms of space exploration, if the most powerful nations would not be spending such amount of budget in war, banking and plenty of other futile things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasty Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 We shall create a United Nations for space exploration, pooling together all our resources towards this cause! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 2012 -> black and white pictures?! I came in here to say exactly this. wtf? and in 2012 we have this that picture was sent to earth within minutes after landing using the "hazard avoidance camera". this thing has got 17 cameras installed on it, one of which takes 1600x1200 color pics and films in 720p. we won't see any of that for a couple of days - a week though.

roasty Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How awesome would this be: 3D Immersive VR + Quantum entangled communication (no lag) + Gundam-style Mechanoid = Exploring Mars from the comfort of Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 New pictures are dumb though lol. Can't wait for the real ones. Why will we have to wait days/weeks? Making a complete transfer is difficult considering the distances, relative size of targets and that both planets rotate. HD images must be pretty big work in space-data terms. They presumably have to schedule in time for the rover to transmit them too. I'd imagine it's got a lot of shit to be getting on with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have TVs in Korea and Japan that can do 4K and 8K... I suppose it's a bandwidth issue, transmitting large amounts of data reliably over 157,000,000 miles...
