I wonder if there would be any value, salvage, repair of sending the rovers over there.

Mars must be very different from Earth. You can't leave anything like that lying around in my neighborhood without somebody messing with it.

When are the "Greenpeace" and anti-litter people going to demonstrate...when I ask you? This shameless disregard for the purity of nature as demonstrated on Mars must be addressed. Keep Mars litter free! /sarc

And all this time I thought that the lost probes were adorning the insides of the locals' caves.

Picturing the Viking landers from orbit is quite a coup for MRO.

So our space program is reduced to planting human debris on other planets and then trying to find it from Earth. Interesting that we can do it but it would be nice if it led to something more, though. For instance, the algorithms used to scan the surface used to set up precision communications trackers so we could set up bases on the moon or mars and maintain link in spite of orbits and the like so long as some line of sight exists. Or something hopefully more creative and clever than that.

Both 1975 launches of the 2 Vikings used USAF Titan rockets with the NASA Centaur upper stage. I was the Titan IIIE Program Manager. Great fun!!

This really is mind-blowing. Never mind that they found the location - but took pictures of the previous spacecraft and here we sit in our homes looking at them.

The new Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted about a dozen spacecraft on the Martian surface

Had no idea this many had made it to Mars, and this implies there are more to be found.

After three decades lost on the Red Planet, Viking 2's backshell is spotted from space

So tell me again, what is the reason that we can't photograph the U.S.flag on the moon?
