Thanks for sharing that Claire. Quite amazing to think that's actually the surface of Mars we're watching in such detail. How technology leaps forward eh?

Thanks for posting

It's really disorientating - I didn't expect the ground to come up so quiclky towards the end

Reading about the video this morning it was mentioned that it was put together from photos and not all were used hence the rapid descent towards the end.

Wow - thanks for posting!

I found it quite disorientating, too. One moment you think you're seeing the ground in fairly high detail and then all of a sudden that detail breaks up into much smaller bits and you realise you completely misjudged the scale.

Great to watch, nonetheless.
