It’s pretty awesome right?!
I really like those selfies, but got to wondering how it actually took those pics. 
Seems I wasn’t alone:
This makes perfect sense, though the idea of conspiracy theorists seeing this as proof that there is no Rover on Mars is an amusing one.
This is my favorite pic of the set:
The concept of a rover being designed to take pictures of its own inspections is just so cool. It’s an obvious need, but imagine the engineering that went into that. Awesome.

I was scrolling down the thumbnails and I had to stop to read what looked in passing to be a photo of “Bitchin Dunes.”
