the red planet

Is anyone else as impressed as I am by the new color photos of Mars from the Spirit? Wow! The spirit of space travel and exploration it still alive and well.

My friend/coworker Jason pointed me to Maestro. I loaded it up and was blown away by the 3-D view. Incredible! It’s a resource hog though. It’s basically the same software the engineers use to navigate through all the visual terrain data the rovers generate. It’s pretty cool stuff. I can’t wait until they upload some real Mars data (should be today sometime).
