It’s cool technology, but the results aren’t very thrilling. Every time they release these pictures, it’s just another boring panorama of brown dirt, brown rocks, maybe a hill or two. It’s just not that interesting looking at a dead barren wasteland.

They could have easily saved the money and filmed this in New Mexico.
Is this near where the astronauts planted the US flag?

Those of us on the National Security “A” list were given the explanation for that weeks ago. I thought B and C lists already got the memo also.

I missed that memo.
Looks like a piece of the “rover” although there are no tracks nearby. It could have blown off, I suppose.

There is a 3-billion pixel photo of Mt. Everest and one of the base camps...very cool and interactive.
To: Zeneta
The commentary said the bright object is most likely debris from the parachute or other landing apparatus. Or it could be a remnant of a Martian queen’s mirror.

See, I thought it was a gum wrapper too.
I still think it’s a gum wrapper.

If I had a few billion to throw around, I’d be sorely tempted to boost out a bin full of empty beer cans, pork rind and moon pie wrappers to the red planet to land near the predicted rover path. That’d keep em scratchin’ their heads for a while...

LOL,
I would drive the rover around in a pattern that created “dust circles” that could only be viewed, in a meaningful way, from space.
