You Might Be A HiFan If…
Tuvas posted this great top-ten list over on Unmanned Spaceflight.
I changed it around a bit, hope you don’t mind, T!
- You consider any image with less than a billion pixels a mere pittance… a negligible amount of data.
- You realize that any part of Mars can be interesting, if viewed at sufficiently high resolution.
- You start to see in black and white away from the “Center strip” of your eyes.
- You have decided to buy a 500 Gigabyte drive just to store a few dozen of your favorite HiRISE Images.
- You’re considering getting a new 40″ LCD mainly to look at HiRISE Images.
- You know what JPEG 2000 is.
- You start making up new Hi Names (HiStuff, HiSpace, etc, etc).
- You continually refresh the web page starting Wednesday morning, waiting for the next release.
- When using Google Earth, you wish you could zoom in further, just like HiRISE can.
