That was my complaint with the otherwise amazingly cool little helicopter they’ve been flying around on Mars: no video! Its only camera is a navigation camera with a low frame rate. So all we’re getting are basically still images.

How can you go to all that trouble to fly a friggin’ helicopter around on Mars and not equip it with a video camera? It’s mind boggling.

I guess it’s about prioritizing mission critical items within weight limitations, but still...

The images of the Moon were the most disappointing.

Pathetic, actually.

But I’m good with it if they at least equip the manned mission with decent cameras.
