NASA releases clearest footage of Mars 140,000,000 miles away and everyone's saying the same thing
Individuals are losing their minds after seeing video footage of Mars but remain baffled by one thing on Earth.** Humans have always dreamed of getting nearer to Mars, but while no person has yet stepped on the red planet, we are moving closer to that aim. Remarkably, top experts have placed rovers on the planet, allowing researchers to gain a clearer understanding of the planet's surface features. A clip showing Mars' dune formations has started to spread on online platforms with Reddit users noting that the footage is incredible. According to Cosmos magazine, NASA's Curiosity Rover captured these images in December 2015 on Namib Dune in the Bagnold Dune Field.
One viewer stated: "Stepped into my garden last night to view the parade of planets. After years of Mars robot exploration, it still amazes me to see these perfect clear images coming from that small red dot high in the sky."
A second person remarked: "These planets are like waiting to be seen, found, loved, painted, photographed."
Yet, many users could not help but point out one fact. This is not leading to a big Martian conspiracy idea but rather a basic observation - we can get clear video of Mars 140 million miles away, but security footage still fails to provide enough detail to identify people.
Another user noted: "But can't get a good picture of a person committing a crime on Earth."
Someone else agreed, adding: "Yet, my front yard camera can't clearly see license plates or faces 20ft away."
A third person wrote: "And yet your bank has cameras from 1954."
One more user added: "And yet surveillance cams on Earth are actual dogwater."
Most people have been saying similar things, but one person highlighted an important point: the same cameras and tools used by space agencies for exploration are not the same as those used by regular businesses.

Someone joked: "Do you think the people who manage Mars exploration are also the ones who set up surveillance cameras?"
While these images made some people hope we would hurry our plans to put a human on the planet and eventually settle there, this comes with problems. Mars is not very suitable for humans as the thin atmosphere would expose a person to more cosmic radiation. Perhaps we could try Jupiter?
