Stunning photos from the surface of Mars











When I was 10 in 1963 I imagined by now multiple domed settlements on the Moon and Mars, so I am disappointed that we MAY revisit the Moon again by 2015. But at least we have the amazing rovers on Mars that took these attached photos, plus the European Mars Express that is taking incredible, high-res pics from orbit revealing ancient river beds and shore lines while confirming the presence of enough underground ice to possibly cover the entire planet with a foot or more of water if melted. Be sure to click on each pic for greater detail.
