Why can't they ever take just one horizon photo of the scenery in front of the rover instead of the typical, "looking at the ground" photos that are common with these rovers? That would have been a far better shot to show live.

There were about 240,000 concurrent users on the web feed at touchdown. But not a single TV news channel was covering the event live that I could find.

If this is successful, do you guys think we'll see a man on mars in the next 20-40 years?

Elon Musk will be there waiting to greet the astronauts if it takes NASA 40 years.
