I always wonder about these pictures, and I hate to sound like an idiot, but why don't they ever seem to take color photos on these things? Is there not enough light, and they have to use infrared?
They are still transmitting on the Low Gain/Low Speed antenna, plus they are still running the Flight software and have not replaced it with the software that's intended for Surface operations. As soon as the High Gain/High Speed antenna is deployed and the software for surface operations is loaded, they have a few color panoramas and a high resolution Landing Movie they will be sending down. After all that happens, the rover activities on Mars will increase as well as the amount of science that will be beamed back.
And a note about the cameras. The cameras that can take color pictures are not like your home snapshot camera. They have a color wheel behind the lens with 15 or more colors in it. to take a color picture the camera snaps 3 or 4 different pictures using different filters that make up the colors of visible light, then the 3 or 4 pics are sent to earth and combined to make the final shot. this requires more bandwidth that is not available till the high gain antenna is used.
So, can hackers figure out a way to feed these things wrong information so the output image looks like a shock site of your choosing?

Much better view without their worthless wires overhead in my backyard.
I thought that the resident paid for that wire in the installation, cant you take the wire down yourself and use it for the new antenna?
Well many cable TV providers are fighting this trend by offering free service to people who want to leave.
Now, let's look at cable TV... lots of ads... ads which are worthless if they don't have subscribers.
I discontinued my cable TV from my bundle that included Phone & Internet. It was $60 less on the bill, but they never turned it off
but Cable TV does not make a lot of money from TV commercials, yes they do insert some, but the originating Station makes most of the money from the ads.
