It got some battle scares on its wheels now...

Sharp rocks..

Wow that front right has a couple of huge holes in it and the middle left looks like it has a crack running across just above the hole and towards the right.

Be a real shame if it broke down because the wheels fell off. Mind you I think the rover mission is now over double its expected duration so they wouldn't be unhappy.

I'd like to see a rover go somewhere else though, like one of Saturns moons.

Indeed 6329x1715.. all the small details.

Remember, the other one has a broken wheel and it still moved about on that far rock.

Space X launch in a couple of hours. Hoping to get the boy to watch.

Thanks for the reminder wobbles.

close but no cigar

elonmusk: Falcon lands on droneship, but the lockout collet doesn't latch on one the four legs, causing it to tip over post landing. Root cause may have been ice buildup due to condensation from heavy fog at liftoff.

To me it looks like the legs are a bit too short for the height so anything other than dead plum vertical and it's likely to fall over.

As learnt from Kerbal, that would be a high CG..

There might be another planet in the solar system

Found it odd that maps would always draw the asteroids off to a side.

China's Yutu Rover on the moon.

Considering it hasn't moved since it got there, they probably know an enormous amount about that rock by now.

Some context might be nice for that one

Took the .jpg off the url to get to the imgur page and the title is "Clouds on Mars".

Ground controllers say it is time to give up hope of ever hearing again from the comet lander Philae.

The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission dropped the robot onto Comet 67P in November 2014.

But after a troubled landing and 60 hours of operation, there has largely been radio silence from Philae.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR), which led the consortium behind Philae, said the lander is probably now covered in dust and too cold to function.

"Unfortunately, the probability of Philae re-establishing contact with our team at the DLR Lander Control Center is almost zero, and we will no longer be sending any commands," said Stephan Ulamec, the lander's project manager at DLR.

Sad news but not unexpected. The little dude took a pounding but still delivered.

They're going to try and land Rosetta on there at the end of the mission which would be a brilliantly audacious thing to try. Hopefully they can do it in a way that'll return some photos from near the surface too.

Darren correct, it is showing some limited atmosphere/clouds of Mars.

Sweeeeeet!!

Said 360º video, cant see motion, is it not just a 360º image instead?
