It’s kinda insane that a picture can be sent from Mars that quickly. 20 years ago you couldn’t load a picture of that size on your computer from the internet that quickly.

Watching a show on Smithsonian right now on the rover. It is going to drill soil samples and drop them on the ground in containers after analyzing them. The idea is a future mission will come back, pick them, and ship them back to earth.

Stolen from u/ullem, but I laughed at the thought of Starship being the future mission to pick them up...

Pffff looks like Aunt Selma's back yard. Can't believe you guys fall for this hoax.

Update with some cool pictures on now:

This shot from a camera on my “jetpack” captures me in midair, just before my wheels touched down.
