Here is the full 20MB .jpg file of that picture
This view is a portion of an image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft on Oct. 3, 2006. The complete image is centered at minus 7.8 degrees latitude, 279.5 degrees East longitude. The range to the target site was 297 kilometers (185.6 miles). At this distance the image scale is 29.7 centimeters (12 inches) per pixel (with 1 x 1 binning) so objects about 89 centimeters (35 inches) across are resolved. The image shown here has been map-projected to 25 centimeters (10 inches) per pixel and north is up. The image was taken at a local Mars time of 3:30 PM and the scene is illuminated from the west with a solar incidence angle of 59.7 degrees, thus the sun was about 30.3 degrees above the horizon. At a solar longitude of 113.6 degrees, the season on Mars is northern summer.

I can make a good poster with that 20MB file, for about $10.
I think it's worth it.
And Google needs to make a Google Mars program now.

hey dumbass they found the mars rover thing because they knew EXACTLY where to look. there's no way you could pick it out from the existing photos without knowing that...unless ur a moonron...
what i was gunna say
try to find that rover without the nice box around it

I'm sure when Freak was 4 he used to run around outside in his moms shoes. But could he say he doesn't need to anymore because he "had" a life back then? No. Hes got a wife, kids, a house, and while hes the complete and utter fuck tard, he probably has more than most of the fat over weight spotty teens on here ever will.
If your out the house 16 hours a day, bravo. I'm not. I'm out about 8 hours a day. But at least I know what the outdoors are like, and I dont as is the case with Dorka, shy away from outside because of the loud noises and funny wind direction.
I've got those thngs as well. I guess I should have said I 'have' one in the works. But whatever.
And, yeah, there 'may' be some scourge jr's running around in their early to mid twenties. :icon30:

Well, moron, we may be able to see the rover in an image, but why would we waste millions of dollars to send a satellite to take a photo of a landing site on the moon? We are trying to study the universe, not prove that we have actually landed on the moon. Something that only an idiot would not believe.

I don't see anything wrong with having satellites orbiting the moon. They could completely map everything before we get there (eventually) and milk it for every resource it has.
I also don't think it's a bad idea to snap a photo of one of the landing areas with Hubble or whatever on some anniversary dealio.
Why the fuck are people getting upset about looking for the landing areas on the moon?

it doesn't cost miilions u take a picture of lunar crafts with satellites that r already there...and they won't do it for the obvious reason...that we never went to the moon...unless ur a moron...
good point gonnafagya...they are supposed to be doing a complete mapout of the moon already...i believe thats already happening...but for some reason...not the lunar crafts...lol...okay...

Moron, the satellites there (Moon) don't have zoom lenses the size of a Honda Civic strapped on, like the MRO does.
And sending a satellite to the moon with a Honda Civic size zoom lenses is totally pointless, for any other reason than taking pictures of Apollo science equipment
And Hubble space telescope can not look at the moon surface, like a satellite can. It would be like using a telescope in your room to look across the street. You wouldn't be able to. The focal length is not meant for that. It's like using a Microscope for looking at the stars.

lol...moron..since the moon is smaller than mars, satellites orbit much closer...and since there is no atmosphere on the moon u can use a 50 buck kodak to get clear pictures of the surface...obviously we never landed ppl there...unless ur a moron...

The level of burden of proof you're willing to accept as proof of/against something is impressive, FLĀ”!

i just wanna see some real proof...i'm not gonna take the word from a few morons from nasa as fact...

regardless of the moon landing, being able to see the rover like that is pretty cool and this whole mission ended up being pretty amazing overall.

problem is, if they were to take pictures and show them, youd be "OMG PHOTOSHOP!" so...
and wtf is this about the moon is smaller so the sats are closer?
physics? rofl@themoran

In my opinion, the FOX network acted irresponsibly by airing this program. What they produced is a TV show filled with sloppy research, scientific inaccuracies and erroneous conclusions.

at least they told viewers the truth about iraq

rofl @ morons trying to argue with Goof.
The mapping of the moon is going to happen, but it's not underway yet. A friend of mine worked on one of the altimeter systems during an internship this summer.
PWNED.

You want proof before you hold a belief? Why start now?
