    That makes a truly awesome desktop. It gives me the kind of feeling that got me into science in the first place.

    This is a fantastic image. However, I must say that my first reaction was, 800x600? They should get us higher resolution dammit! Which was quickly tempered by, "I may be expecting a bit much to get 12mp images from mars"

    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids.

    Ya but I hear Jobs has been trying to get some-one up there to scout out store locations :)

    That looks like something you'd find in Luke Skywalker's photo album

    just to agree with Bill in the comments: it makes a great desktop wallpaper
