It never ceases to amaze me, these shots from the surface of Mars. It's almost as if someone is standing taking a photo of the landscape. smile

IMO, this and similar activities are some of the most interesting things that NASA is doing today.

I had the same impression when I saw that photo. The great thing is that NASA is doing so many things in so many places.

Cleers,
