Paul Byrne @theplanetaryguy.com · Jun 16 An incredible view of the surface of Mars, taken two days ago. You can almost feel like you're standing there—the sand shifting underfoot, the absolute silence, the unreal sensation of walking on a surface never before visited by a living creature. (Also your suit is leaking, you'll die here)

This view is a composite of 15 NASA Perseverance rover Mastcam-Z Left images taken Saturday, 13 June 2026 at a local Jezero Crater time of around 3:30 pm. I've balanced the colour and tweaked the brightness to better represent human vision; the sky has been replaced to fill in mosaic gaps.
Never fear - just over the rise are the twin archs of a Macdonalds. Pressurised I am sure.
The suit is indeed leaking bsky.app/profile/dway...
These incredible mars images never cease to amaze me.
...and I cannot wait til the day musk takes his cadre of scumbags on a one way trip there
eh...Try The Badlands At Age 7
did we lose matt damon again?
If you suit leaks just breath shallow and plug the hole with dirt and blood aka the Martian
“…never before visited by a living creature.” I think that’s a pretty serious stretch.
"walking on a surface never before visited by a living creature" Are you sure, Earthling? 👽
Throwing your helmet open only to realize you can breathe the air because something about algae rockets, and also you're Val Kilmer.
A sneak preview of Earth’s future. Unless …..
At least one of the Viking landers had a stereo-optic camera and NASA published the images so you could view them in 3D
Pet Peeve: In the film THE MARTIAN we never see the hero doing suit maintenance, notwithstanding the many, many hours he spends in EVAs. My headcanon is [SPOILER] that he works on his suit during delays waiting for replies to his messages to Earth, which the film also mostly omits. #AllEyesOnMars
glad to be living in this marvelous time to see mars
Kinda wish Musk was.
