As if we haven't sent men to Mars yet. This is 2012. We should be living there by now :P

In serious talk, I can't believe we haven't sent anyone to the Moon since 1976. Surely tech has improved heaps since then and it'd be beneficial to go again [Rage]

I've thought this also. The obvious jibe is that they faked the initial landing and technology still isn't good enough.

Americans being shifty? Never. :P

Apparently HD pics/vids taken on the landing take 48 hours to get back here.

Yeah no worries. They only had a few images sent back and the first through was the thumbnail- which of course is rather small.

Is that the floor, and then the horizon and sun, or is that just the floor...?

Yeah that's the dust and then the horizon.

I think what's so exciting about this mission is that the rover will potentially be able to send back a ton more info than previous missions..

Also what's not exciting about landing on ANOTHER PLANET! Every time we successfully land anywhere I'm excited.
