They’re in good company, NASA got the idea for all the cameras during the most recent Mars rover “descent and landing” mission from a GoPro. > Deputy project manager Matt Wallace said the idea to put video cameras on board to document the rover's entry, descent and landing came after he bought his daughter a small sports camera that she wore in a harness while practicing gymnastics. > "She did a back flip, and I don't know about you, but I cannot do a back flip," he said. "But when she showed me the video ... I had a glimpse into what it would be like if I could do a back flip. And that was the moment that inspired a phone call to my friend (Perseverance camera engineer) Dave Grohl, and that's what led to this system." https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/first-images-of-perseverance-landing-on-mars-nasa/ https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/first-images-of-perseveranc...
