James Cameron to Help NASA in Building 3d Camera

TopTech Reviews Net has the following story:

We have known James Cameron for ages and he became even more popular with the release of his ground breaking movie – Avatar. People used to call him a “Crazy fella”, since the time he started working on Avatar because a lot of folks out there, didn’t have enough faith in his visions.

But now, James Cameron is helping out NASA in building a new 3D Camera that will be sent to Mars for research purposes. NASA already lost one of its precious cameras, about a week back in one of those failed balloon launches so maybe James Cameron is going to give them a miraculous touch.

NASA has been working with Malin Space Science systems for a while now and they are building this new project/space rover, known as – “Curiosity”, in collaboration with James Cameron. The new camera is supposed to be fully operation in 2011 and its going to include Hi-Def color video, Hi-Def Pictures and a lot more than that. Hell, you can even expect one of those NASA guys in Space suits, hugging each other and taking photographs on Martian land, and sharing them on Facebook!

This time, NASA is planning on testing everything thoroughly before initiating the actual launch phase. No one can afford another crash and burn situation with millions of dollars, lot of hopes and years of research on stake.
