I think it's the bumps on a foot massager. I think the Martians may have
arch problems.


Forget tech stocks... I think I am going to buy orthotics!

I expect they don't feel like repeating the same information over and over. The
microscopic imager has a fov of 31mm x 31mm, and an image scale of 30um/pixel.
It's a fixed focus device, so every image has the same scale.

Oh for Christ's sake! Well whether they "feel like it" or not, they should!
