    2. A ‘camera’ is seldom in the picture it takes.

      In this case, since the rover doesn’t have a tripod and a camera with self timer to put on it, it cannot run around and ‘get in the picture’. ;-)

  2. Seeing photos from a different planet, taken like this are amazing! Watching rockets land on their tails is amazing! It's good to be alive!

    I wonder who "Murray" was/is?

  3. We'll know when we see that Jawa crawler and some sand people just before the video blinks out....

  4. If we see a tag on the rock that says, "Obiwan was here", it would spur the manned flight to Mars.

  5. I spy some well camouflaged Flash Gordon "Clay Men".

  6. doesn't appear to be ocean bottom - edges appear to be too sharp - sort of does away with the theory once proposed that Mars was covered by water

    1. That's sedimentary rock, don't you need water to deposit the sediment?
