.....So our space program is reduced to planting human debris ........
Your misunderstanding is immense. The space vehicles can walk and chew gum at he same time the photos shown are a mere fraction of the total effort.

Some camera imaged one of the landing sites. The resolution was about one pixel per Lunar Module base. Very tough to pick out anything.

The new series of pictures released late on Monday show both of the Viking landers, never spotted from orbit before, as well as their nearby heat shields and backshells. These are the top and bottom covers of the capsules in which the rovers decended through the Martian atmosphere to land.I'm impressed that the Viking landers both managed to sprout tracks or wheels and become rovers.

It is a feat millions of times more impressive than finding a needle in a haystack?
It's an awesome feat but it's not THAT amazing. It's not like the folks at NASA didn't have a clue where, on Mars, this stuff came down.

"So our space program is reduced to planting human debris on other planets and then trying to find it from Earth." Not meant to be funny but it sure was!
