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

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.

The parachutes’s open, so the craft must be under 8 miles altitude; the orbiter was 472 miles up, so the distance between the two had to be at least 464 miles! And all this around a planet that’s, what, 100 million miles away at the moment.
Wow. Well done, NASA.

Maybe they can figure this out from the last time.

orchestrating action 400 million miles away - mind boggling.

Pardon me, but I do not know what the current paradigm is
for the presence of water on Mars and other questions...
1) where did it come from?
2) How long would it take to sublimate into the atmosphere?
3) Was Mars warmer long ago?
4) If Mars has 95% CO2, what would its temp be without
that greenhouse gas?
5) Where did the C02 come from?
6) Is there geothermal heat on Mars?
7) Why are all the planets so different, surely they must
have come from some homogenous planetoid material in the
past? Why didn’t the mass all settle into one or two Super planets
orbiting the Sun?
8) shouldn’t the planets rocks be similar, with the
major differences being the relative differences in heating,
and time at certain temperatures?
9) Could hexagonal shapes be due to other chemicals beside
water? What about hydrogen sulfide? or frozen C02? How about
heated magma, coming to the surface and crystallizing out?
10) Could DNA survive such a thin atmosphere with all the
X, cosmic rays, and solar ionizing radiation?
11) How much C02 escapes the atmosphere on Mars?
Are these questions answered in any astronomy textbooks?
Thanks

Getting the picture is one thing. Knowing where to point the camera is even better!
From about 500 miles away, with a large command link time lapse, they still had it right!
I should have stayed awake in Solid Geometry class!

That's fine and dandy, but where's the picture of the flag planted by Neil Armstrong in 1969?
