  1. MarsQuest by IPFreely · · Score: 1 · on 3D Martian Flyover Movies

    MarsQuest has had some mars flyover demos for a while. These are controllable though. You can pilot them around. (warning, Flash Player ahead)

    I can't seem to get to your links. Did they get drowned out?

    I've seen another. This one has a 3D fly over with relief, pilotable. It's nice and simple, but effective. (Warning, Flash/Shockwave ahead)
    Mars Quest

    It has quite a bit of background on mars and the various missions. It's worth a look if you can get in.

  5. A closer look by IPFreely · · Score: 2, Interesting · on A First Look At Meridiani Planum
    You can take a good look at the terrain on this 3D fly over. You can also control the path and view angles. Give it a try. It's pretty cool.

    There are also other Mars terrain flyovers, and current large pan and zoom pics from Spirit and Opportunity.

  6. Would you settle for... by IPFreely · · Score: 1 · on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures
    What I really want to see is a rover running up the Face on Mars.

    Would you settle for being able to fly your own private spaceship back and forth over the face on mars? If so, go here: www.marsquestonline.org. 3D pilotable Mars flyovers of many famous sites.

  7. Re:Face on Mars? by marsrus · · Score: 1 · on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures

    If you like you can check out our interactive 3D Face on Mars (Shockwave & Flash required). Not quite as good as putting a real rover there, but you can tilt the model and change the lighting to see the Face. Plus, you can drop to ground level and fly/drive over it. Doesn't look much like a face from that vantage, but that's just because of the Conspiracy...

  8. More good Mars Info by IPFreely · · Score: 5, Informative · on The Dirt On Mars, In Words And Pictures
    More Mars info here. It includes some nice 3D imaging, large zoom and pans of the latest rover images, and some nice 3D pilotable flyovers of several sites, including Olympus Mons.

    It has all the latest Mars Rover info as well, and a direct link to JPL for the latest and greatest pictures and info. www.marsquestonline.org
    Go hit it. It's worth a look around.
