*dream of really good pics from NASA*
anybody can explain me why we always have so shitty pictures nowadays ?
I mean, I am truely stupid concerning technology and all so when I am looking at Apollo's photos everything is so good and today when NASA gives us pictures it looks like it was taken with my 15 years old webcam.
Can someone explain ?

Yes, I learned last night that the Curiosity has 17 cameras including 3D. Some of them are used for the intricate maneuvering while exploring the terrain (or should I say 'Marain'?).
