Wow. I mean, think about what you are seeing.

very cool. Your idea worked out perfectly. I scaled different parts, combined props and outfits of other super-suits etc and cobbled together a wicked look.

OMG- I even strapped a starship onto his back as some kind of interstellar jet pack.

Thank you, kind sir.

Absolutely incredible!  Thanks for sharing this!

I remember when we still thought Mars had canals, and all we had was a fuzzy red circle of the whole the planet much less these incredible panaoramas

When I was in college, it was an open question whether any other stars had planets. I mean, it seemed very LIKELY... but who knows?

And obviously any other systems would likely follow Bode's Law.

 

hahahaha.

OK ..wait a second ..in there you can pan out to see the entire rover thing ..so where is the camera? Just floating in space or what? There is nothing extending from the rover like a selfie stick or anything.

Probably some tiny little Martian who lives in one of those little white houses, or maybe it lives in the orange house?   Or are those "houses" actually angular mushrooms that the rover is about to run over?

Marvels of modern Photoshopping and image stitching and optical projection mathematics, and some very talented imaging people.  

Either that or there's a wireless drone hovering above the rover, beating it's little propellers out in the thin air.
