Lots of drama
Review by What T. on 07/17/20 review stating Lots of drama
The DVD has great shots of Mars surface from the rovers and from high above. It does show the patterns on the surface which would indicate flow of water billions of years ago. It was interesting to see how the robot was activated after it could not be contacted. The team was excited when pictures came back and equipment worked. I thought the puffy white hairstyle of one of a senior project scientists was rather distracting. Instead of looking at the scientific achievements and Mars photos, the puffy white hairstyle grabbed attention it did not deserve. It was almost as bad as Albert Einsteins bad hair!

Good pictures from the surface makes this better than most Mars documentaries.
