No, you’re right. One just recently went into hunker down mode due to the largest sandstorm every recorded on the planet. Should be booting back up soon.

Actually, the mission is collecting non-visual data. The visible images are for PR. Exactly. There's a lot more to it than the eye candy.

Back in the 70’s I had a shirt that looked like that and my jeans had stripes

That 2nd photo would make a fantastic 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle!

Scientists said the photos allowed them to see the planets weather system in greater detail.
Weather forecaster predicts cloudy and somewhat unsettled conditions. BTW so does Old Farmers Almanac.

Not a lot of terra to form. Probably a small solid core surrounded by dense gases. Maybe a satellite city some day, at an orbit where the gravity won’t kill you.

The 70s. The decade that the fashion angels cursed.
Psychedelic, Liesure Suits, Bell Bottoms, Disco duds, and shoes for guys that would cripple thousands.

Then we need to find a way to cause massive amounts of deposition of the gases into solids.
Perhaps we need to suck gasses off of Jupiter in amounts equal to the mass of earth and the mass of the moon. Taking into consideration the additional heat needs of the new planets given their distance from the Sun. And then convert the gases into solids creating several planets having good ol jupi-terra.

They already found the black thingee back in 1968! It was real, just like the moon landing (I have it on good internet authority that both were filmed by the same director)!

This is such BS, everyone knows we’ve never been to the moon, to space, much less Jupiter. Pathetic. /s

I hear that planet LV 426 is more suitable for terraforming.

Both of them did by a lot. IIRC their expected life was 90 days. Both lasted years and as you pointed out one (Opportunity) is still working.
