Amazing the MRO captured the image. Also amazing they never lost contact with the lander during descent.

What does no loss of contact say about atmospheric composition?

I have no idea except maybe our technology is performing better than expected.

Obviously staged, after all the Moon Landings were staged so none of this is happening, its obvious since this is a conspiracy to deny that the government caused Rosie to develop embarrassing itches on "The View". [/sarc]

Just thought I'd beat the moonbats to the punch.

Maybe because of Mars's thinner atmosphere? Have we tried to keep contact with a lander before, or did their locations/attitude/deployed antennas keep NASA from even trying on previous landings?
