Why on Gods green Earth, in the year 2004, almost 2005 are we taking pictures of another planet (that by the way took hundreds of hours of sophisticated technological workings in order to reach) with a black and white camera? that has always pissed me off.
The navigation camera and the hazcams are black and white, but the Pancam is actually a pair of color cameras with filters. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/spacecraft_instru_pancam.html
