Curiosity's backshell and parachute on the Martian surface, seen from orbit. That is an impressively capable camera! I wonder how long it will take the parachute to fade and tatter.

Deeds of Arms and Other Matters Medieval and Otherwise
About Me
- Will McLean
- I’ve been involved in medieval recreation since 1975. I contributed to a manual for living history that later grew into the book Daily Life in Chaucer’s England, and have written and illustrated several articles on the medieval tournament. This blog is mostly a platform for my other writing about the Middle Ages, and whatever else moves me: other history, movies, SF, space exploration, contemporary politics and economics. You can find my livejournal feed at Willscommonplac
