Check out the high res. 360 view put together from the Curiosity Rover's pictures.

Looking at it I was like, "meh its looks like a desert" then it hit me, "it might be a desert, but thats on Mars and thats just awesome."
The picture is nothing ground breaking in terms of something we didn't know was there. But the quality and realizing where and what the picture is of, its a little mind blowing.
That rocks. Thanks.
At least we know where to go if we ever run low on dirt.
Tingle up the neck stuff, just amazing to think about. That reminds me of when the first Viking pix came back, and when the first rovers started to roam. BTW, use your arrow keys after clicking a spot on the image to pan and tilt in case the mouse-drag spins things too much.

I think you put the "s" at the end of the wrong word there.
and that's only the beginning :)
...wait until we hopefully get those kind of pics of at least 1.8 billion year old eroded 'coral riffs by Precambrian-time precursors' probably "Martian-Stromatolites" (bacteria-slime baked into layers for non scientists) then! 8)
(completed with Alpha-particle ray backscatter- and IR-spectroscopic- analysis to prove its not just some strange geological artifact produced by wind, sterile water and erosion)
Cant Wait!

Looks ripe for a casino. ;)
Awesome site, thanks for the linky!
I think I see a nice spot to build my house. Wouldn't it be nice to setup shop over there, away from the madness here on earth?
What's up with the 'Made in China' label on Curiosity?

Well played!
^I agree, but it took the wind out of my sails. :)
This surprising image just in from the Mars Rover. ;D

I thought this was a math free forums. >:( I didn't come here to get no edumacation... ;D
I'm sure there's a forum profile setting for blocking math. They've thought of everything else pretty much.
