i don't know the equipments characteristics and limits, and neither the weather conditions at the time of the photo, so i am speaking in ignorance. i just thought it is weird that in the 70's we had this

and in 2012 we have this

I thought we already had those Rover things crawling 'round the place - Or is this an updated one ?

Chill out, they were just the "test" photos. We'll get full-colour snaps soon

There's Spirit and Opportunity; Spirit is the one that got stuck in the dirt, Opportunity is still knocking about though

Are there any other rovers from non-US countries?

Funnily enough, Mars is not featured in the Total Recall remake...

I'm surprised this isn't on google homepage.

For 1.8 billion dollars they should find martian pyramids with martian mummies.

That or diamonds

Doesn't the U.S spend about 10billion a month to be in Iraq and Afghanistan? We could've invaded Mars by now

But there's no oil in Mars! This makes no sense

How do you know it doesn't

All the planets in our solar system are just Earth in different stages of evolution. For instance, Venus is Earth's past, and Mars is Earth's future. /woahdude
