1) Phoenix is a Lander, not a rover. It does not move. Whatever video it takes will be the same 360º around as would the images they are currently compiling.2) The phoenix was meant for researching the surface and what lies below it. We already know what mars looks like through Exploration and Pathfinder, so really this camera really isn't even necessary beyond the use that everything on the lander is OK. 3) WHY ARE ALL OF THE COMMENTS THE SAME QUESTION!?
i love B&W photography, but we're talking about NASA here, we're talking about a lot smart folks, lots of money, this is the best they could have done?????????? i want my money back!!!!!!

What? I don't have a right to an opinion? You must be a Democrat. Even a lowly Republican allows for dissent.
