Real Nice Mars Pictures.

Absolutely beautiful gallery of pictures from an ancient world that is both now familiar and still the definition of alien.

Mars, if we should ever muster the stones to explore it, offers the perfect chance to experience the wonder of diversity and still, the commonality of our shared universal existence.

I wish I was young enough to see it happen someday. But I fear that even those youngest of us, will not live to see what our lack of courage will cause us all to miss.

S&F! Thanks for sharing!

It is as you people say wierd that they cant get those kind of photos of the moon.

You can now. NASA had just sent the LRO to the Moon this summer, it has been in its mission orbit since mid September. The LRO can take images of the Lunar surface at about 50cm per pixel on average. The MRO images can vary between 25cm to 60cm per pixel. So both probes are quite comparable in that regard.

Here's a link to the LROC image gallery.
