Well - to assume this is a commercialisation issue is to make assumptions about the camera, its funding, its contribution to the spacecraft as a whole and what the reasoning behind the decision is.
If a corporation funds an instrument, but releases half a dozen stills and a 1/5th res movie....then you have to wonder what the point is in sending the full res camera in the first place? Clearly in this instance, commercialisation and popularisation are at odds with one another. Doug |
