Mars Photography - WOW!

[Joe_Lorenzini]

Since I was a little kid watching images arrive from the Viking spacecraft, I've always loved planetary photography. These images are just unbelievable!

Joe,
Did you take those?

Many years ago, another local photographer had an 8x10 of Neil Armstrong saluting the flag on the moon. He had it sitting on a shelf in his camera room. Upon entering the room and seeing the picture, a client asked him, seriously, "Did you take that picture?"

My friend said he just couldn't hold it, he burst out laughing. Of course, by then, the guy realized what a dummy he was, and laughed, too.

Sure, taking the shot would be easy. Getting the WT-4 wireless device to beam it back to Texas would be a bear!

I used to think by the 21st century humans would be seeing this with Mk I eyeballs rather than a robotic probe.

Someday our failure to move beyond Apollo will be ranked by historians with the Chinese abandonment of the great junks.
