Mars rover Curiosity’s microscopic imager recently used ultra-violet light in the night time and revealed numerous round fossil cells of ~40 microns across on Sol 165 at Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater: http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=lin440315&b=20&f=1556678963&p=297

I wonder what wonders we would see if we had a direct video stream from a rover on mars? Maybe this is why we don’t. Maybe there are small insect type creatures absolutely everywhere on mars. Hard to spot in a picture but with video you would at least see the movement. Don’t tell me that curiousity has no video cam, I’m not buying that bs. That’s the first thing you’d want on you’re rover. So why are they saying they haven’t and why are we not seeing any video footage? We took cameras to the moon! Or did we?
Are you saying “fossils” are the only explanation for round geometric patterns in rocks? That suggestion is bereft of intelligence.
Why no video? Because you’d have to live with such low-quality, low-resolution images you would learn far less from that than from stitching together the higher-resolution stills. You must not fully appreciate the time and power it takes to transfer even small amounts of data across such large distances.
“Maybe there are small insect type creatures …” Video would the very last tool you would use to detect life. If you insist on wearing a tin foil hat, consider staying in the parts of Before It’s News where such attire is welcome.
