Wow, such insight.
No wonder people say, "then why did you have to spend millions going to Mars?"
I agree with the NASA program, but this guy should learn some Vegas pizazz!

So, he is actually saying that ground water is a renewable resource and we should harvest and utilize it. The enviro Nazis yell that ground water is non replaceable, liars all.

Is this is really a Spirit photo? - I'm having my doubts - at the bottom of the image is what appears to be a conglomerate rock!
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
There's a real hard crust where the soil is light in color -salts from evaporative process?
In the previous pic look at the rock at the bottom of image which has been pushed into the ground - looks like nodules or "salt" crystals around the edge of the hole.
To: Fitzcarraldo
interesting, from whence came the pictures?

That looks like a small cavity below the surface collapsed, and a line of rocks became sunken into the ground. Recently too - the sharp edges haven't been worn away by blowing dust/sand.

This is along a rover wheel track, I think. The rocks are close enough together for the rover to avoid contacting soil. A lot of the sharp edges you see on Mars are "ventifacts", rock faces that have been carved by the windblown sand.

Spirit pancam - Sol 66:
What the heck is this?
To: All
correction in previous image - it's from Sol 67.
From Spirit Nav-cam Sol 67 - what is going on here? Camera malfunction?? - what are these needle-like objects???
The image info says the last one was taken at 1:54 local Mars time - are these images of the night sky??
To: Fitzcarraldo
That looks like star-tracks, with the spots being sensor noise.

Image 16 was taken at 2:08 local - these look like star trails. I wonder why the night photography though?
