I'm particularly amused by the jagged edge at the bottom, which is the only way to guess how big each image is that makes up the mosaic. A far cry from the old pans of the moon.
It's also really interesting to look back at the tracks kicked up by the wheels. I wonder how long till humans manage to do more than scratch mars' surface?
From a red dot in the sky to a real place... there are many places on earth, inhabited even, that seem to have less reality to america than the places these probes have been. I fear that exploring such places is going to be quite a bit more expensive and tedious.
