I read a blog today where the author of one entry lamented the fact that there was not sound coming back with the pictures from Mars. He speculated that maybe it was harder to send sound data than video data. Understanding science thingies -- it really is important.

Having grown up with the low-resolution, grainy photos of early space mission, I am astounded at the quality of what is coming back from Curiosity.

If they had sound we might be able to hear the Martians skipping around the rover's camera's.

There was some video of the descent. Looks like there was some dust kicked up after all.

We get to Mars, and already we're shooting things with lasers.

Yay, Second Amendment!    :shoot:
