NASA Mars Satellite Snaps 1st Public-Picked Photos

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-it-wasn't-uranus dept.

coondoggie writes "NASA today said it took eight high-resolution photos of Mars that were chosen through a public suggestion box the space agency put up in January. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE camera, aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is nicknamed 'the people's camera,' NASA stated. Through the suggestion box known as HiWish, NASA has received nearly 1,000 suggestions. The first eight images of areas the public selected are available online."

    And why are schools closing again? I squee about space coolness as much as any nerd, but it's like otherwise rational people just ignore the cost-to-benefit ratio on things like this. Cognitive dissonance I guess. They rail against bailouts that sucked but probably did save the economy from a total collapse. But then things like pretty pictures of Mars it's all 'whatever it takes!'.

    You tax dollars at work?
