This was a good watch! Thanks @kurtfaulk for posting that.
Some wild scenes in that video:
- Dunes at 6:00...
- Mountain range view at 7:00... pans around for a full minute. Really cool.
The other neat thing... at the start, they describe using satellite imagery to plot the rover path... seems obvious, but never really thought about that. I guess I always assumed they had that planned in advance.
Neat they make a little map to travel.

I sort of forgot to come back and watch this. Just did...
Awesome!
This video has a lot of images and mosaics I hadn’t seen before.
The next rover lands in 2021 and has a drone/helicopter onboard...
Stuff you don’t think about... the blades will turn 5x faster to get liftoff in the martian atmosphere. Cool.

It's fascinating looking at another planet's surface in such detail.
