@65dBnoise This comment makes us Pixl engineers sad! 😭

@65dBnoise I was only joking around, don't worry about it, I know what you mean. 😀

You are entirely correct often its the journey as a whole and not a single event that defines a mission like this one. Driving around drilling random holes for no immediate tangable gain may look reasonably monotonous but to then fly around, collect them and return them to earth will be something special!

@65dBnoise Indeed the papers are arriving with 2 on science.org but the data capture for pixl is sporadic due mostly to its power requirements.

Of course with Pixl the instrument is so close to the surface there's often little context. To help our science team on some captures we blend in the Pixl scan data with Watson images to help with that.

Keep up the great outreach work @65dBnoise !

@65dBnoise we are also trying to get to a point where we can open up the tooling the science folk use with the mars data to the wider community of interested people. We're not there yet, but its coming at some point so you can login and play around with the same data those papers were written with.

@65dBnoise @andrealuck @sharponlooker see if @kevinmgill has any tips with his pipeline stuff
