My favorite quote from the video at 1:22:
"For the newest imagery available from Mars, go to the 'Live from Mars' layer. High-resolution NASA satellite imagery is available within hours of it being downloaded from currently-orbiting spacecraft." Holy fuck, what an era we live in. |
| Well, many care about Mars and space exploration in general (myself included). The lackluster response could be simply due to the fact that the update with Mars has been out for quite some time and those of us who really care had explored it weeks ago. Just saying... |

If you're into astronomy, check out these two freeware packages: Celestia ––- plugins for Celestia Stellarium There are windows, mac, and *nix versions so everyone can use them, and as mentioned the best part is they are FREE. |

PS, you can fly the built in F-16 flight sim on Mars.
