Most excellent photo from Mars Global Surveyor

Check out the resolution on this baby! They rotated the satellite as it passed over a piece of terrain which gave them the ability to resolve objects as small as 4.9 feet! This just happened to be where the Mars Rover Spirit had traveled ... you can actually see the rover, its tracks, lander, and other equipment.

Very, very, cool.

3. Yeah and the CIA had piles of high res pictures of Iraq....

Showing absolutly NO evidence of WMD being made. No equipment,no materials,nothing.WE HAD NOTHING. No evidence at all,yet Bush went to War.

He should be hauled sideways through a War Crime trial and imprisioned for the rest of his life for the murder of THOUSANDS of people.

5. What about the moon?

I have always wanted a good 'photo' of the moon showing the moon landing locations and the landers left there...I am not into the 'we didn't go' conspiracy...just want to see a picture of the area that shows th landers....
