This image provided by NASA Wednesday Sept. 6, 2006 shows the path of the Mars rover Opportunity as it nears the Martian crater Victoria. Victoria is the large crater near the bottom of this map. The gold line traces Opportunity's path eastward then southward from 'Eagle Crater,' where it landed, to Endurance Crater, where it spent six months, and nearly to Victoria. The south end of the line indicates Opportunity's location as of the rover's 930th Martian day, or sol, (Sept. 5, 2006). (AP Photo/NASA/JPL/MSSS/Ohio State University)
This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft generated from digital topography taken on March 24, 2006 shows an overview of the Mars terrain. China and Russia plan to launch a joint mission to Mars in 2009 to scoop up rocks from the red planet and one of its moons, a Chinese scientist said on Wednesday. REUTERS/NASA/JPL/Handout
I watch them both every day and I'm eagerly awaiting new photos from the Reconnaissance orbiter.
