Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

There is GIGANTIC image of MSL here.
Link to 25 MB jpeg image... Is that maybe still from that animation you were talking about Jim? Looks to me like there is some work to be done on that rendering like adding RTG's... -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

B)--> Looks to me like there is some work to be done on that rendering like adding RTG's... [/quote] It is strange that nearly every image of MSL has it without its RTG. Very strange, is it expected to be powered by dark energy? Probably they keep it out of the publicity images to keep a lower profile since there are some groups that adamantly oppose *anything* nuclear. Even peaceful scientific missions... Also, the camera on the mast surprises me. Would they not have two camera's for binocular vision? How can they tell distances without it? |

I could have sworn that there were some pictures that did show the probe with RTGs fitted, which made it look somewhat like a bombardeer beetle, but they seem to have disappeared from the net unless someone has copies. |
