I'm seeing a lot of white oppressor colonizer faces on the PBS livestream. Someone should let
them know that they may get cancelled they don't show a POC in a place of POWAH soon.

Oh there's Mimi Aung, thank heavens.

I'm sure they have high res. cameras but the time to transmit that picture back to earth would be too long for the RFN crowd so they sent a B&W because its faster.

They said this lens has a cover over it and is mainly used to guide the rover. Also the landing stirred up dust. Higher res pics later in the day.

Correct.

Initial images were from the rovers equivalent to back up and blind spot cameras. The good cameras take a while to deploy and start using.

On a plaque or in a memory module?

You talking about submitting your name to be included on the trip with that boarding pass? That's just a memory module if I recall. There was about 11M people who did it, that would be a big ass plaque.

I did that for my whole family.


Krispy Kreme will give you a free mars donut today if you show them your boarding pass.

I'm pretty sure it was micro etched. You need a microscope to read it but it's on there. Too bad I don't live in the States anymore or I would have gotten my free donuts.
