    Please create an option to automatically move forward through time so you can see an animated version of the journey. And please get rid of the fade-in/fade-out transition when you switch images, it makes it harder to see the difference between shots.

    It would also be nice to be able to move forward/backwards through photos keyboard (e.g. arrow keys).

    There's also some sort of toggles on the map pane to different views (zoom levels?) but they're not labeled nor do they have any sort of tooltips so it's not very clear what they do.

      I came to say exactly this, keyboard navigation please and automatic playback!

    Cool but... I am pretty sure that it took photos that aren't close ups. All of those photos are all close up of rocks and I am sure it took some more wide angle shots too?

    Or some showing the horizon at the very least.

    I can't find any of those here as I work my way down the path.

    I don't think it's cool to hotlink every single raw image from NASAs server here.

    Not one comment praising the existence of this site. Remarkable.

    I find it so hard to figure out how close Curiosity is to the peak/ridge of Mt Sharp and whether/when it seems likely to cross over to the other side.

    this is really cool but it's missing a lot of context... like... they're taking pictures of the ground beneath their feet. it would be a very autistic way to tell the story of a hobbit's journey without the context of what they're looking at and why.

    this slideshow is missing a narrative. people normally travel and orient themselves by landmarks. their journeys are related amongst themselves by language surrounding common landmarks.

    maybe the narrative for the rover isn't available

      I assume the different angles are different cameras mounted at different parts of the rover and used for different images? It would be nice to be able to select a particular camera and just follow the view from that, say.
