We will be putting up an orbiter in a few years that has the same resolution of a KH-11/12 spy satellite..

It would be extremely difficult to find a lander for which the location is uncertain,

It seems to me that if the location is certain, then YOU DON'T NEED TO FIND IT!

A few weeks ago, Space.com had an article where they think they imaged the Mars Polar Lander, or its debris field. Along with its parachute. Its on their site somewhere.

Mars looks dead as a doornail. Maybe they should try Europa if they're looking for life.

Don't judge a book by it's outside cover. We haven't scratched this world yet. I honestly believe that what we will eventually find there, from it's past and present will be historic and sobering.

Ever read Mars by Ben Bova?

Incredible.

Many years in the future, these sites will be preserved, historic landmarks of American space exploration history.

The space craft, their exploration vehicles and the surrounding sites will be protected and preserved.

Very possible life existed there millions of years ago, be interesting if they can find that out.

Cool. Will they be tourist attractions? Maybe the local Martian mall built next to the Brit crash site can be called Dead Beagle Boutique or something.
