First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit
An anonymous reader writes "NASA has made the first stereo image pairs from Spirit available. I've made stereo anaglyphs and arranged the full-size images side-by-side for stereo viewing. These are from the low-res black and white hazard avoidance camera, but still very cool. Anxiously awaiting the first stereo pairs from the panoramic cameras!"
I've been crossing my eyes for half an hour and I still can't see any damn beagle!
Damn it, I was almost being productive. But now I have to run around looking for my red and blue glasses.

It looks like they dropped this Mars explorer out somewhere between Palmdale and Lancaster, CA. In fact... I think I can make out a meth-lab trailer in the distance.

It's amazing how simple things seem when you don't have to do it.

So if you know someone with a National Geographic collection dating back that far you can borrow them, or if you're really keen you can head down to your local library, find the issue in question (hopefully with at least one pair of the glasses still inside), take it to an available library internet terminal, bring up the page in question, and view away.
I just used a Tostitos bag and a coat hanger.

Take two toilet paper spindle tubes and place one over each eye. Then put the tubes in contact with each image. This ensures that each eye is only viewing the correct image.
When your wife/GF comes in asks what the hell you are doing- tell her you are looking for martians on the Intra-Web. Watch her leave the room- quickly.

My stereo glasses came from inside a science magazine attached to a Pfizer ad about microbes to show the micrographs in 3D.
As an office joke I pasted the glasses which featured the Pfizer logo promenantly to my own ad...

Obviously fakes. Taken in the desert right next to the old moon landing set. I hear that if you zoom in really close on the rover you can see the SCO trademark too.
NASA posted an image gallery? The battle is set now The might of a slashdotting vs the awsome power of NASA's servers who will win? compulsively refresh their page to find out
Nice idea, Bruce Dern. However, all attempts so far to create a self-contained and self-sustaining biosphere have failed.
You think the ISS is expensive, try building the vehicle large enough for a biosphere and having it survive the acceleration needed to get to Mars within a decade...
Other than that, I agree that a manned flight would have a higher success rate than a robotic one due to real-time correctional ability. However, the initial steps of maintaining the human cargo have yet to be addressed.
I have something in common with Stephen Hawking...
Although less boulders are better for roving, few rocks and flat land make for somewhat boring stereograms. Hopefully it will wonder into a big lumpy pile one of these coming weeks.

I love it. It's the year 2004. We have sucessfully landed another probe on mars, and we're all hunting around in our junk drawers for 50's style 3D glasses.
I just hope we don't find any life on mars with this mission or we'll all be looking for tin foil to wrap around our heads.
It's the damn martians! They keep shooting down our probes!! This one must have landed near an unsettled area.

They could have slapped a $300 5 megapixel on that puppy and then we'd have quality images to look at when it got to Mars.
