    Um, grey picture of... rocks? Woot?

    What is the purpose of this mission?
    tracking the history of water on mars(life,setting up colonization efforts,etc). They landed it near a dried out lake with a dried out stream running through it.

      Oh please. Our technology has advanced significantly since then. If the Martian wars were to occur today, it would be an entirely different scenario.

        Not true, I said the CIA was responsible for both probes failures :P. Considering that the US is the only country with sucessful landings on mars it doesn't seem that far fetched does it .

          Get out the tinfoil hats

          Your post of CIA! CIA! CIA! was totally without context. I had no idea what you were referring to. And no, it wasn't the CIA, it was the little green men who have had a secret alliance with the US since we faked the moon landings.

            Looking for evidence of water by looking at sediment, or some such.

                  Later this afternoon. Very high resolution. I think these are at least 15 megapixel pictures coming down.
                  I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

                    Outstanding. Now that we have conquered poverty and no child goes without food, shelter and medicine we can begin our exploration of space...

                              What this thread needs is for someone to make a really obvious attempt at threadjacking it. If only someone could think of an irrelevant issue to discuss...
                              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                                This is just another obvious step for gun control.
