"...but expect a 20-minute delay..."

And Expectations?

#6  Mars Fun Fact. In the 90's a set of Mars color photos without the Red Filter was leaked, and surprise! Mars is not naturally so super red.

20 year later, Photoshop now has an auto-color-correction tool which when applied to the raws -fixes the color to more align with the organic looking real leaked photos.

Live Streamed - but I bet they still apply that funky red Mar's tint to the stream.

#4  *Yawn* One frame every 50 seconds (bandwidth constraints) with a 20 minute light speed delay in transit. *Wow* Reminds me of the old phone line dial-up days of the early Nineties ...but it is livestream, you bet.

#1  If anything goes wrong with the feed, it will be proof to many that Mars is an inferior planet.
