    First vs. One of the latest images taken on Mars surface.

    Lies. The second one is just outside Phoenix, AZ.

    It's amazing to see how camera technology has changed. Even just the basics, like how early cameras shot at 640x480, and now mid range ones have 30 million pixels. Nevermind the signal processing inside and optical technology. So, all of this stuff is changing sometimes almost as fast as Moore's Law will allow, and people have to make decisions about what kind of camera to use on a mission that will take several years to get underway. I don't envy them.

    It would be cool if an astronaut would take a model of the Death Star and release it into space for eternity.

    Speaking of space...


    These two droids are from the same time period and yet one can barely walk and the other can do Jackie Chan moves.

    What gives?

    One was built by the empire and the other in a kid's junkyard?

    Also, one is a combat droid, the other is a protocol droid.

    But in the Star War films you see other CP30-model droids and they move the same way. So don't blame it on Annikan.

    see previous post about combat droids vs protocol droids.

    Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-Annikan

    This is stuck in my head.

    No, because I want to be right.

    You were right. One barely walks and the other is a Chinese super star.

    They should have appeared on Howard Sterns' "That's Just Wrong"

    It's only a 5 year age difference of the characters.
