First panorama from Perseverance
The Perseverance science team has released the first panorama taken by the Perseverance rover after landing on Mars February 18th.
Below the fold however I have embedded something far better than the science team’s mosaic. Andrew Bodrev has taken these same navigation camera images and created a 360 degree virtual reality panorama, one that you can pan and tilt at your own pleasure. The view also includes the sounds of the Martian winds from the rover’s microphone. If you pause it you won’t hear the sounds, but you can scan and rotate for as long as you want.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

would be neat if they had miniature sized mars movers and diggers that could be deployed to work independently of the rover.
Steve, we were just talking about that in our office (I don’t work in anything space related so it was just some guys sitting around throwing out ideas) but we were talking about a swarm of drone helicopters going in all directions if this works! Love the idea for a bunch of little tonka truck diggers!!!
I hope this is real. If so – amazing. A 360 view of the Martian night sky from Perserverance.

“Martian Winds”, so similar to the Sirens Sweetly Singing.
Careful Ulysses.
Careful.
The 360deg VR with local sound heard by our Rover upon the Fourth Rock from the Sun ?
Said Rover sent from the Third Rock from the Sun ?
Incredible, amazing, and very very cool.
Careful Ulysses.
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Rover Onward !!
