Are you going to watch the NASA live feed of their helicopter on Mars?

[Daniela1982]

I remember when NASA tried to pass off a place on Earth as being on Mars. I wonder if this will be for real of another phony faux pas by NASA?

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I’ll tune in & something tells me the feed isn’t really going to be LIVE because in the event they see Marvin The Martian I’m sure they wouldn’t want the world to see.

[Daniela1982]

I'm not sure how long it takes a radio wave to get from Mars to Earth but there will definitely be a time delay. It's not like if they see a Martian they can quickly turn the cameral on him in a flash.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Communication between Mars & Earth takes anywhere from 4.3 to 21 minutes depending on conditions. I’m sure other eyes are going to see & censor the video feeds before the rest of use do. Looks like we are going to see the feed on the 14th however I bet NASA is watching as we speak.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Thanks for the MHO’s!

[monkeynutts]

Nope. I will check out one of the docks they make in the future. NASA is pretty cool, they are training people now to go to mars supposedly. It is pretty awesome.

[Daniela1982]

There were a whole bunch of volunteers for a one way mission to Mars and they were supposed to be training for that. but that was like 4 years ago. I'm beginning to think they all washed out or gave up on any possible mission.

[monkeynutts]

I think it’s an engineering problem, they can’t send them unless they know they can keep them alive.

[monkeynutts]

Plus they have to send all the habitats and tech first, and probably have robots do much of the pre prep work to have these colonisers have a good chance at a start for life.

[Daniela1982]

True.

[Daniela1982]

I'm thinking it will never happen. If some emergency happens on the 8 month journey they are screwed!

[monkeynutts]

I think the theory is that they will star to creat live in one of the abandoned lava tubes what the place needs is seven billion people and all their farts to start a climate change. We should all go there.

[Daniela1982]

I don't know. One stray spark and all those farts don't work well together.

[monkeynutts]

Yeah but something has to turn up the heat when it’s minus 40 degrees in the middle of the day.

[abc3643]

NASA didn't do the photomanipulation above. Other people did it and claim that it's NASA.

Here's another example:
misbar.com/.../nasa-didn%E2%80%99t-use-fake-mars-photo

Don't fall for the fake news people (like Trump) who create fake news to say that the real news is fake.
Also, learn to do your due diligence so you don't fall for shit like this.

[Daniela1982]

I still wouldn't put anything past them seeing as they get a big chunk of cash from the budget for results.

right now im eating bubble tape. is it safe to watch footage of mars while eating bubble tape?

i didn't even know there was a mars landing with a helicopter

[Daniela1982]

Not a landing. They are sending what amounts to a drone up to get some views.

[Sevenpointfive]

as far as the last i've heard NASA is publicly funded. they don't go into space anymore

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I was not aware of this. Is there enough atmosphere for a helicopter to work on Mars?

[Daniela1982]

Good question.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I believe that their is some atmosphere and maybe that combined with the lower gravity of Mars would allow it to work

[SuccessfulHornDog]

there

[Surely]

I’ll be curious to see if it really can get off of the ground with the thin atmosphere.
If it is really there or not , only they know for sure.

[Daniela1982]

True, the air is too thin to create much lift but we'll have to see.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Sounds like an intersting thing to watch.

[888theGreat]

You do believe we have been to Mars?

[Daniela1982]

I wouldn't have the foggiest.

[888theGreat]

Moon?

[Daniela1982]

At least that seems believable.

[888theGreat]

Would you have been the first to go? Maybe that one was not carried over and you float in space forever.
