FWIW no matter how you look at it - no one speaking at the
#H2M2 #ExploreMars #MoonToMars Human to Mars summit underway in Washington, DC has any real idea what the next four years will be like at #NASA - since the Administration itself does not have a plan - or a concept of a plan. Just sayin'

A digitally reconstructed, true-color map of Mars, revealing its entire surface. Features like the Tharsis volcanoes (taller than Earth's mountains), Valles Marineris (a canyon far exceeding the Grand Canyon), and the Hellas Planitia impact basin are clearly visible. The image is based on data from the Mars Global Surveyor's laser altimeter. Mars' northern lowlands and southern highlands are also depicted.

A mosaic image from the Opportunity rover inside Endurance Crater on Mars. The image shows different potential exploration sites: arc-shaped sand dunes, the 1-meter rock "Wopmay" (the rover's next target), and parts of Burns Cliff. The lower center shows already explored terrain. The image hints at Mars' potentially wet past.
