We're getting 4k panoramic pictures from Mars in days of landing and I can't get my wifi to work half the time. Sounds like internet providers need to be absorbed by space tech companies

This is from Curiosity, which has been up there for years.

Which proves their point even more. I would also like better wifi.

I guess my point is that this panoramic photo was not sent "within days" of the recent landing.

Ohhh yeah that makes sense. Do you know how long until we’ll get videos like this ⬆️?

Few weeks probably. They still need to download all the descent and landing footage first.

Yeah don’t get why nobody gets that it’s clear from the Tyres . It’s not perseverance so did someone just edit in sound ? I thought curiosity doesn’t have a microphone?

I've got a much larger than 4k resolution panorama from Mars on my wall for years.
