Anybody know of FB's latest thoughts on the fact that there is a rover sitting on mars that is about to take a trip to the hills in the distance?

No, but I'm assuming by your name that you've read the Mars trilogy?

Will i dig the last third like i did the first two?

I can just imagine FB's fertile imagination checking out these pics.
This one's 12MB, but ohhhh man...

You will, though it's probably the weakest in my mind of the three. Nice pics. Maybe FB'll pop by with some of his own. :)

Thanks for posting that link, it's an amazing panorama.
I've downloaded a third of it so far, slow connection here. :-P

By the way, what did you think of the enhanced pictures of Venus? Amazing the equipment could work at such high pressure and temperatures.

The pictures from the surface of Venus are fascinating too.
Frank should write a song about Venus and Saturn's moon Titan .
I am looking forward to images of Titan next year.

The ESA's failed Beagle 2 was destined for Isidis basin... The Mars Express will soon be photographing that region looking for its remains.

I found this snippet a while ago of Frank on 'Word For Word' on the net. He's in a bookstore and just mentions the Mars trilogy.

I must read it sometime, I'm just finishing the third of the Hyperion books. Good stuff.
