yes...there are some absolutely amazing pics coming back from mars. Lots of great big ones with lots of detail..Very cool indeed.

..probably no wonder that people are finding mysterious shit.

Check out the High res picture link at the bottom of this mars photo page...
NASA - 'Lyell' Panorama inside Victoria Crater (False Color)

at first, it really looks like there is water...but then you look closer..nope.
