Stunning? Boring is the truth. They look as haphazard and unconsidered shots of earthly, unremarkable, landscape.
NASA needs artists and poetic photographers to capture inspiration on Mars if they want to snare the hearts of the public. What a waste of fortunes if they cannot do that.
If only the images were as great as the feat and engineering itself.

- malwarebytess 6y agoThat's not what this is. I didn't impugn the project did I? I criticized the public relations blitz and a falsely descriptive title on the BBC. Don't pretend public outreach isn't part of the plan here.
