   #PPOD: in 1965, Mariner 4 captured the first photos of Mars from space using a "real-time data translator" machine to convert digital image data into numbers. Employees at NASA hand-colored the numbers on paper strips to create the first image of Mars, revealing lunar-type craters on a desert-like surface. Credit: NASA/JPL/Dan Goods
