I went to the briefing (on-line=UK) and found this 80MB<br />image - WOW, really WOW:-<br />http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20050901a/Independence_L256atc-A590R1.jpg<br />It almost looks like Mesolithic man got there first with all that knapped 'flint' lying around. Anyway, superb image.<br /> RoJ

That's an amazing photo. Those durable little rovers have really delivered. Kudos to all the people involved with this mission.

Great question from nasawatch.com to Steve Squyres: How long would it take a human geologist to do what the rovers have done to date? Answer: A couple of days!

Two days to do the work and 30 Years to get to Mars. <br /><br />The rovers are there now.
