T'would have been nice to see the image. The least you could have done was supply a link...

How about a picture? Like here;

Can you say "computer enhanced image"?...

[Straight Vermonter]

Looks like animation.

[ambrose]

Totally... it looks like they cranked this out to compete with our rover on the Martian surface...

Found this while trolling at other site where I found the link;

"Made in Europe and yes France
take that freepers"

Does the poster mean like the Beagle itself? Heard from it lately?

This looks like a bogus photo. Have you been playing jokes on the Brits? ;-)

ESA says the bottom part of the picture is computer generated showing the same area from a different perspective.

I like how they say "Europe's stunning view." Perhaps we should start talking about "America's Stunning views" It goes to show that they think science is a sport.

[CasearianDaoist]

I thought is was made in germany (with lots of US help.)

Obvious CGI. Maybe this was intended to be an enhanced representation, but this is no photo.

ESA says the bottom part of the picture is computer generated showing the same area from a different perspective.

That explains the "Video Game" look of it.

I've seen some computer generated photos of the surface of Venus which look more realistic than this...

Here's an example...

Can you say "computer enhanced image"?...
Another image of european mountains linked to Mars - before being enhanced

When we get back to the moon and travel onto Mars, I hope we plant our Flag.

The whole thing looks like an illustration from a Jules Verne novel.
