This shows the problem with letting egghead scientists control these things. That route is extremely inefficient!
Can see its trail too.
What the fuck are you even trying to say or see????
Very cool
This is image ESP_093190_1985, taken by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The image was taken on 13 June 2026 from an altitude of 279 km above Mars. Read more: www.uahirise.org/ESP_093190_1... Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
Thanks. These days one needs all the reminders one can get of how brilliant humans can be when we put our minds to it! Never tire of watching this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4UK...
It's come a long way !
Ok that’s pretty cool!
Thank you so much. The circles for the turns. Way cool.
This is so cool! Thank you for sharing.
I remember when this program started. I have yet to see ONE improvement in anyones life on earth from this. Below is what I call REAL SCIENCE since it clearly helps us. Immediately.
Aww you can see it's little trail where it drove around.
The Pale Blue Dot on the Pale Red Dot.
So cool! Science in action.
tire tracks... ON FRIGGIN' MARS!!
Every time I see images from Mars, I am again amazed like a little kid.
Fuck yeah, science!
That’s very cool, but the only humans that should visit are Musk and Bezos.
Wow. Who’s driving? Geesh.
Are these the sorts of colours you'd see with human eyes, or are they in a different range of the electromagnetic spectrum?

I love that not only are the tracks so sharply defined, but you can clearly see where the rover rotates in place.
This is awesome - thank you! 🤗
That’s an amazing group at JPL. It must be embarrassing for them to be associated with NASA. I want to disband NASA. Lock up Musk and have JPL own SpaceX. We’ll do away with the SpaceX name like all things Trump and Musk.
Go, Persey, Go!
So, another pale blue dot. But what will we see when we finally join all the dots, I wonder...
Stunning
Following your account was one of my best decisions this year. Thank you for the absolutely fascinating posts.
Look at him go 🥺
And that's where Elon Musk should live.
Hah! Thank you for sharing that!
So cool! Thanks
Whilst I can't see the tracks, it is an awesome photo!
I’m sorry folks, I wasn’t sure what this was at first! I thought it was Trump’s supposed big beautiful pool that he’s totally f..ked up!!
When is this rover going to “accidentally” draw a penis?
Poor thing, it must be so lonely.
❤️
That is fantastic!
Cool but we are trashing up mars
