An image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of the Phoenix lander landing on Mars the other day, in descent with parachutes deployed. Very cool photo!

** How bloody typical of DL Jerkoff to post misleading info.Despite what the pic shows - the Phoenix Lander did not descend into a crater on Mars.
See the explanation given by NASA:

Wow, what a hole. The ought to name it 'Sydney' (unless they've already named it of course).
It's called "Heimdall" crater.
Jealousy is a curse you know.

**Really? Who took the photos?

Yeah, it's really cool. One of the coolest space photos ever taken IMO.
The HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
But it could have been someone aboard an F-302 with a Nikon, I can't be entirely sure.

** Usual damn paparazzi - of course...... Phil
"David L. Jones"
** Huh ???????????????Two tiny white dots superimposed on what looks like a bomb crater is no cool pic.
Long, long way from really interesting.

** Yuck - more blurry white dots.A great space pic is NOT one of some NASA craft with a damn * crater * in the background.
My idea of a REALLY GREAT space pic would be one showing the Mars lander with a * Martian critter * poking its head up in the background !!!!!

Here you go:
Dave.
Yeah, with his Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator in his hand. :-)
** Not my idea of a great space pic at all.
Something that look like a large, hairy spider would be sufficiently mind blowing .

Hmmm. Not a fan of Marvin the Martian from the classic Daffy Duck cartoons, I see.
"Bob Parker"
** Seems he arrived on Mars some time ago....What I had in mind was just some curious " critter " who happens to get photographed by accident - and thereby causes the greatest world-wide sensation in history.

Yeah, that'd be great if it managed to get into the public domain ...
Phil! You said something funny! Maybe there is hope for you.
