#2Just came back from Europe. Everyone knows about this and all media reported on it. Surprisingly so little is said in American media. Its not new that Americans do not like other nations succeed in space! If these were US-based rovers, each network will give it 10 minutes cover. Same sad story about Chinese Moon landing. Most American friends laughed at me when I told them China landed rover on moon. Some even question Wiki article as conspiracy theory.

It's a big problem in the US that other countries only get acknowledged as in relation to the US. In a way this myopia serves the country pretty well and it's big enough to do most things themselves. But sometimes interesting things that happen in other countries get overlooked and nothing is learned.

#4すごいよ Sugoiyo! Super! Cool! Wow! Awesome achievement Japan.
I really admire that its means of propulsion doesn’t involve wheels (since the gravity is so low)

It's also that the PR done by NASA is about 100x as good as all the other space agencies in the world.
Really good photos and videos and web pages and TV material. Lenient sharing licenses etc.

#6The pictures are thrilling! The rock looks stratified - which might imply they were created under gravity? Or is it just the camera angle...

#8I love that they opted for color cameras. Not much color to be seen, but the flares, together with the motion blur (while falling and hopping!) make the pictures look really dynamic. :)

Consider literal competitions--it was similarly appalling to watch recent Olympics in the US. 95% or more of the coverage was of Americans winning. If a particular day had fewer wins, they would replay earlier footage rather than dare show any other country succeeding at non-American dominant areas. One saving grace is that the NBC app had all the footage they didn't deem worthy of broadcasting.

#10yeah right, as if this is real. Much like all the other rubbish produced by NASA.
