Hope we get a video recording as the rover moves about the planet a view of the horizon would be very nice, but seeing as it’s stuck inside a crater I guess not

Its treating the crater like B$Q carparks..... handbrake turns and burnouts when nobody is looking and sending back fake data to cover its tracks

Mie and Rayleigh scattering dependent on particle size explainin why our skies are blue and sunsets red on Earth and yet blue on Mars.

at 03:53 Saturday morning (3hrs from now) the helicopter Ingenuity will take off and start hovering for approx 30 seconds as part of its pre flight testing.

Feels like a new era of space exploration, hope it works.
