    One of my favourite animals: The mudskipper! Very tempting to get an aquarium with these walking fish one day.

    Ha! That clip made me laugh! biggrin
    Also, the face of that fish reminds me of someone but I can't think of who it is... I do hope I'm thinking of an animated character and not a real person!!

    Oh, and score by ERIK WOODS on garageband I assume?

    With a quote like that, it's far more likely to be like that scene from "South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut" with Satan and Saddam in bed...

    I didn't really know where to put this but anyway, I never knew there was footage of ROBERT WADLOW the tallest man who ever lived.

    It does take a bit of 'head wrapping' to really let it sink in what you are looking at...

    It gets even wackier when you think about the fact that a man made object carrying pictures that Leonardo DaVinci did and songs by The Rolling Stones is actually heading out of our solar system.

    Weirdly enough, what 'hits' me the most is the fact we share the same sun... A remaining constant...

    If you see that panorama carefully in all directions up and down as well, it is nothing short but fascinating. It's chilling actually. See the shadows...the sun, the rocks on the ground, the dirt on Curiosity itself..the mountains, the mist of the atmosphere...amazing.

    Well, for the next 4-5 billion or so!

    Though yes, I have a similar reaction to non-terrestrial views of the sun. Especially when taken from a more distant vantage point!
  17. The photos are amazing. But I can't help but wonder what is hiding behind that mound or what's just over the horizon.

    True but did it ever work? Though we are still quoting it!

    Well they will surely be pissed of they have ever seen the crappy Spielberg remake and they will probably take it all out on curiosity.

  29. As far as I understand it, yes the first part is real (the descent) but the audio effects have been added. The images after landing are just hi-res photos that have had artificial "panning shot" perspectives added (as well as the obligatory audio track).
