Awesome indeed, in the original sense of the word, but even better with that obnoxious music muted.

Something about those pictures really makes you feel “there” in a way that even the moon pictures don’t.

Yet another hackneyed techno-orchestral epic soundtrack. Very tiresome. Someone out there confused a modest, hippity-hopping, rocky excursion involving two tiny robots for a mindless action-movie trailer.

I want gigantic prints of those photos to go on my walls. I love the lighting, the perspective, and the movement. That robot needs a photograpy award

Well, listening with a Japanese ear, I’d say that the music resembled a sort of techno-ed up taiko drumming style like the Yatai Bayashi - Chudaiko Bachi (using smaller drumsticks than traditional larger drums and drumsticks).
