How good is the stream even going to be in terms of video quality?

Sort of amazed this only cost 2.5 billion. We could do so much more if we quit wasting our money on other things.

On the contrary, this rover is the very waste that you're speaking of, but you just don't know it. $2.5 billion for another round of pictures of a pinkish wasteland of dead rock? On a world that Humans will never actually visit? And even if they did visit (for at least a $500 billion expense), they wouldn't stay. And even if they stayed, they are at another useless bottom of a gravity well.

You Cheetos eaters on /sci/ like to pretend that you're educated about physics and space, but you're not. You have left too many orange Cheetos stains on scifi books. Scifi is propaganda, since almost all of it skips neatly over the impossible problem of Petroleum Starvation. It also skips over the impossible problem of the Silent Sky (which says directly that space-faring life doesn't exist).

The rover's $2.5 billion expense would have much better served Humanity by careful investment in solar, wind and geothermal technologies that can be brought to the masses. (Then again, the masses are pretty much doomed anyway.)

Haha, you're such a self righteous douche. I spend most of my time on /k/ and /pol/ so blow it out your ass. Just pointing out that this project is much better (and the amount is microscopic) compared to the amount we spend on pointless foreign wars and aid to third world shit holes.

If you really think that we will run out of oil... well, you are a delusional doom and gloomer. There were plenty like you 50 years ago. Oh by the way, how did Solyndra work out for you?

capitalized.

Hello VSG, only you is enough faggot to capitalize your delusional future scenarios.

Also, why do you hate on scifi when your entire worldview reads like one? You even got The Great Oil War and Petroleum Starvation and other cliched and outdated science fiction scenarios written down as totally certain.

speaking of oil

could mars have oil?

we know it had oceans at one point so maybe it had life=oil

That's a really interesting proposition, but they'd be more likely to have natural gas and stuff.
I'm pretty sure they've already detected that anyway.

I would invest in terraforming the martian atmosphere instead of sending little fucking robots so the planet can habitable for life. Problem is the solar flares. I would also invest in a faster way to get there.

My hard earned tax payers money going to a bunch of atheist Jew scientist to send some cheap hunk of fucking metal RC car to a dead planet

What the hell is this thing good for? It doesn't cure cancer, it doesn't feed the hungry. It's a giant waste of money.

In case we didn't notice, we're in the middle of a RECESSION. We shouldn't be spending money on this useless crap.
