They've got an interactive thing up where you can scroll around and zoom in and out on the panoramic view from the Martian rover. There's a cable bundle on the rover, y'all tell me these ain't bread ties holding it all together. I believe they are.

A 360-degree panorama taken by the rover’s Mastcam-Z instrument will be discussed during a public video chat this Thursday.Last edited by pdub; February 26, 2021, 11:49 AM.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsTags: None

Obviously they are cable ties, but I'm pretty sure they are braided synthetic and can probably support the weight of an Abrams tank.

Again, having major deja vu but I can't find the thread (no pun intended.) We've had a discussion years ago about nylon lacing and tying - Squirrel posted a great military reference at one point but a google query for nylon lacing will get you a general idea (or try a search for Mil-T-43435B or "Militiary wire lacing example"). The waxed nylon stuff Dad used at TI 50 years ago makes indestructible kite string. Like Patrick said, used a lot in avionics and still is acceptable as far as I know.Last edited by Beagle; February 26, 2021, 05:48 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I'm still enjoying looking at all the pieces and parts on the rover, that's really cool. I thought for a moment to type up a totally imaginary story about why this is on there, but I'd imagine the truth is much more enlightening:
