Clickbait & fake news, that particular crater is only a small detail of the Utopia Planitia impact basin and is only 5 miles across.

The ExoMars orbiter caught a close-up view of a huge crater on Mars.

lol, none of us Americans did the conversion. 3300 km? Sure that sounds about right for that single crater!Clickbait & fake news, that particular crater is only a small detail of the Utopia Planitia impact basin and is only 5 miles across.

The headline with the picture is more misleading than actually wrong, as it does say the "impact basin" and not that single crater was 2000 miles wide. The crater is just "huge."

Blue Origin just finished its first crewed tourist flight to low orbit in 2 years. Only 2 of the 3 parachutes deployed properly. The hosts on the stream were like "lots of redundantcy, it's ok with only 2 deploying". Most likely totally true, but the stream showed that capsule hitting the dirt and it looked to be a pretty damn hard slam into the ground.

I know in my head that 'space is hard' but...they were awarded twice the cash, and that's billions and have taken forever for nothing to show.
I really hope they get this running but damn , get it done before I'm dead!
