When I see things like this I wonder why in heck are we even thinking of a manned mission there? The robots are discovering everything we would ever need to know about the planet (and more).
I can see going to the moon (again), good reasons to do so, but Mars?

The thing that I find fascinating is that we'er looking at another world yet if you showed this to someone and didn't tell them what it was they would be like: "wow that's a desolate place, is that Death Valley?"
I was thinking exactly the same thing, only difference being in the Karoo in the RSA, not Death Valley USA....
