    I see they have forgotten to add the “RED” filters that they have always used in past mars photographs.

    Lol!
I wonder if the rover landed near “the flag the astronauts left there.”

    Mars has a large volcanic “history”.
I’m guessing that is a data cable rather than a rope. I was thinking there might be use for rope in some situations where you want a bit of “give” - but I’m guessing any “rope” up there wouldn’t last too long between abrasion and UV rays.
I wonder if there is a wire “rope” design of some sort??

    Actually they can’t really. They try to make up some numbers sometimes but you can’t date rocks. They could be thousands, million, billions of year old. Maybe trillions. No one knows.Have you ever taken any college-level classes in Geology?
No?
Then it would be best to reconsider that statement.

    Looks like it sat too long and someone put menus on the windshield. Not sure if this is an official NASA photo.

    You did a fact check on a joke? Unfortunately there is someone sitting in their basement that has already retransmitted the original comment post as proof of a hoax "From highly placed anonymous sources".

 This is the planet Algon, fifth world in the system of Aldebaran, the Red Giant in the constellation of Sagittarius. Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for the hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds. and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable. 
 A simple rear window de-misting device for an 1100 costs eight thousand million billion pounds and a new element for an electric kettle like this  (picture of electric kettle) would cost as much as the entire gross national product of the United States of America from 1770 to the year 2000, and even then they wouldn't be able to afford the small fixing ring which attaches it to the kettle. (graphic of an electric kettle showing all the separate pieces detached from each other, arrow points to the fixing ring)

    Old enough there was flowing water both in and out of the crater in its past. That was why they chose that crater.

    Okay that’s the satellite view, but is there a street view available with cars, houses and such?

    I could have saved them a lot of money and sent some pictures of Black Rock Desert.
