#1 If anything goes wrong with the feed, it will be proof to many that Mars is an inferior planet.

#4 *Yawn* One frame every 50 seconds (bandwidth constraints) with a 20 minute light speed delay in transit. *Wow* Reminds me of the old phone line dial-up days of the early Nineties ...but it is livestream, you bet.

#6 Mars Fun Fact. In the 90's a set of Mars color photos without the Red Filter was leaked, and surprise! Mars is not naturally so super red.

20 year later, Photoshop now has an auto-color-correction tool which when applied to the raws -fixes the color to more align with the organic looking real leaked photos.

Live Streamed - but I bet they still apply that funky red Mar's tint to the stream.

#7 Did that have to do with atmospheric variations?

And Expectations?
