      Tough room today. 😆

      I'm looking forward to the next Mars explorer that will fly over the surface. Pretty cool idea.

            Shouldn't matter. The video feed clearly stated it was a "low res down-link video" wtf?

                The question is did you watch the last splashdown?

                1975?

                  Kind of boring watching a bunch of geeks sitting behind computer monitors.

                  Take the mirrors out of your workspace, Mark.

                      Hey, I don't video myself and live stream it for all the world to see. I know what boring looks like. 🖥

                          Yeah cool to see indeed. I was also disappointed with the video resolution and lack of alternate angles.

                              Ha! I was wondering if all those boats are part of the operation. Guess not!

                                Seems kind of dangerous to have all those other boats there. I would think that they would have a "no trespassing" zone for boats that are not associated with the mission.
