Wow. The quality of the image makes you feel as if you're nearly there. One day I hope to see some Martian rover send back an image of Olympus Mons, the highest mountain on Mars that goes as high as six miles and the largest volcano in the known solar system. Quite impressive.

Sorry, everybody. Post #3 came up empty as you can tell by the blank post when trying to link 3 images from NASA's Photojournal.

I read that these images are unavailable right now as a result of being sequestered.

Just kidding. You just can't link to them. Just go to NASA's site and you'll be able to check out the three images listed in the article.

I could have gotten you a photo of a sand dune for half the price of the trip to Mars.

What? That thing is 3 miles high? It looks 10 feet!

What’s that black stuff at the bottom of the mountain? Is it a lava flow or tar sands?
