Doesn’t look like much but way better than nothing!
I heard there would be HD… ahhh “The video of Curiosity’s descent is a bit fuzzy, because the MARDI
images were compressed substantially before Curiosity sent them back to
Earth. The full-resolution photos should be spectacular, but they’ll
take a while to trickle in, said MARDI principal investigator Mike
Malin.”
