(That was my first reaction when I read the headline - the LW beagle avatar flying to Mars..)
Wouldn't it be curious if they found something? I wonder what sort of life they're looking for. There's so many speculations about Mars, if it ever supported life - or life as we know it - or if it could. As our sun turns into a red giant, and earth dies, maybe life will erupt on Mars...if we haven't planted it there first.
Has anyone read or heard about that "Face on Mars" idea? Popular among the UFO set - they say there's visual evidence of pyramids there, too - all kept hidden by NASA. Who knows? I love a good conspiracy, but that one is a bit far-fetched for my tastes.
Still, nice to imagine that stories such as The Martian Chronicles could be true - what a sad book that was.
Holy Cats of Egypt!

This could be another milestone in our history... and maybe bring us a step closer to the future of the Legion Seriously though, if they do find something useful, I wonder how long it will be before we can take advantage of it, or if we ever will be able to take advantage of it.

I'm pretty sure that "face" is just a coincidental image formed by erosion and whatnot, but it still gives me the creeps every time I see an image of it.

What a difference a couple of decades worth of technological advances makes. The first image on the left is the best enhanced version of the Viking images. The other two are images taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft in 1998.

Heh - the ol' Face on Mars 'conspiracy'. Great pics Scott - I'd seen some demystifications of the Mons Olympus face before, but that one was the best. PS Lovely Avatar image, Harbinger. Where-ever did you get it?
