Jobs' would stick an Apple logo on it, tell you that it's better than the previous asteroid version even though it has no craters on it and is incompatible with other space debris
From a marketing approach, I agree that the broader public is more likely to want to have that 'bang' here's asteroid Vesta fully resolved and beautiful. Sadly they'll still go *yawn* "So what!?". For that audience there is little interest in either increasing pixels or hi-res shots. Where the images of DAWN's approach would be useful is through their use by Outreach professionals. As has been said above, building the anticipation of the journey/approach is important. It helps build the story and the relationship with the viewer. Using a series of approach images and comparing it to a simulation or a side by side with Hubble's observations and other projected views all help with developing the interest. If people can be a part of the story by seeing what the scientist sees then they make an investment in continuing find out more as the story develops. |
