We live in an area that was once covered by a glacier and that is exactly what it looks like around here. Huge boulders strewn everywhere.

ROCKS!!!! My thoughts exactly. Last thing I expected.
Am amazed the probe survived descent. Outstanding engineering.

'LIVE FROM ALGON'
M'Burke: Of course the big question that everyone's asking here is, what about those split-crotch panties? Are they going to be unobtainable throughout the Universe or merely on Algon itself? Professor?
Cut to a professor sitting beside a contour model of an area of Algon. It has a little model of the probe marking where it has landed.
SUPERIMPOSED CAPTION: 'PROFESSOR HERMAN KHAN, DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF SPLIT-CROTCH PANTIES'
Professor: We must remember that Algon is over 75,000 miles wide. The probes come down to this area here and we're really only getting signals from a radius of only thirty or forty miles around the probe. Split-crotch panties, or indeed any items of what we scientists call, 'Sexy Underwear' or 'Erotic Lingerie' may be much more plentiful on other parts of the planet.

Pic reminds me of the door scene from "2001: Space Odyssey" only in reverse. "My God, it's full of rocks!"

First second I saw this image I thought...shoreline.

"the first image shows what appear to be drainage channels flowing to a possible shoreline, the camera's scientist says. The pictures are raw and unprocessed."

Rediculous!
Looks like the same Hollywood set they used for the Moon and Mars landings.

Sells better than sex:
Wow. I was going to just come in and take a peek at that Titan image, but just like those of the 2004 Spirit and Opportunity Mars missions, I am amazed by the amazement I felt as my eyes first settled on it. It is pure captivating.
On a ancillary note: I think the Big Guy Upstairs is trying to tell us something. That "thing" is to notice how these planets and moons all resemble the deserts of earth and how we should earnestly consider just how at home the Islamofascists would feel if we sent them there...

Could be. Lots more atmosphere there, lots more weather than Mars.
Anybody know the details on the atmosphere?
