Are these Fox News cams on fix going to stay up even when the atmosphere gets too thick for normal satellite? I was wondering when someone would get the technology perfected to be able to bear witness to the storm. You can get 5mp shots from the surface of Mars but when you want storm coverage it's zip until it's over.

/Praying for NO to pull through

Because it is technically less challenging to get pictures from (calm weather) Mars. There are lots of cameras running, and the issue is one of "realtime" communication.
