Google search is also a scientific tool, they provide enough information about how they collect and rank the data. Care to elaborate how you distinguish if data is scientific or not ? (That would be interesting even if futile)

Please enlighten us. I'm not a conspiracy believer, but seeing this obvious repetition of imagery I also have to ask, why is it so?

It's nothing to do with the rover's landing. They could have used the images from various orbiters and stretched them over an elevation mesh. I'm sure Mars Reconnasaince Orbiter has hi-res images of that area. There's no reason to "invent" the view of the crater.

Well what can I say...
A composite image from a computer game, designed to give the masses the 'curiosity experience' is being used as proof positive, of the nefarious deeds of NASA?
You people do realise that this is a computer generated 3d landscape, that has used an edited image, that has been sown together, then stretched over a 3d model as a skin right? RIGHT?
You do realise that this is for entertainment purposes, most probably for children right? RIGHT?
