    2.5 billion dollars and they stuck the camera from a 1995 Nokia phone on the thing?

    These are only the initial images from the hazcams, they haven't deployed any of the of instrumentation yet.

    Awesome news. Woha, that's a big dune buggy, those Martians will need bigger posters
    You can't trust a meta-ethical moral relativist since such a person can abuse reason to justify any act.

    As Zoidberg has pointed out these are just initial images. As the rover powers up (which i think takes a couple days) we will begin to see bigger and better images.

    They better produce some stunning images. It's a little difficult for politicains to grant more money for images that can be created in MS Paint.

    Images will be the least important bit of science the MSL does. Analyzing ground samples are way more important, although it should give some nice images once all the instrumentation is up.

    Christ-mass is NOT for Christians. Jeremiah 10.
    Is the 10 Commandments for Christians?

    Saturday is the Seventh day, Sunday is the first day.

    ^ This. But the rover is going to be sending back 2MP panoramic shots once everything is up and running.
