Marveling at the world

Lots of Martian rocks and landscapes, some looking all too familiar, but don't be fooled by that: Mars is an inhospitable toxic planet. Let's not mistake fiction for reality.

I like dirt and rocks, but I Am Not A Geologist (IANAG).

I'm a little disappointed that people were quick to write off while the little beast is still alive and functional, albeit unable to fly due to the damage it suffered in one or more of its rotor blades.

Flying on Mars may be over, but the game is not. I hope will assign some other tasks to it, like those during the recent solar conjunction, and will keep collecting images and telemetry for as long as it goes.
