NASA's Next Leap in Mars Exploration Nears Arrival





"This mission will greatly expand our scientific understanding of Mars, pave the way for our next robotic missions later in this decade, and help us prepare for sending humans to Mars," said Doug McCuistion, Director of NASA's Mars Exploration Program. "Not only will Mars Science Laboratory's landing and research areas be determined by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, but the first boots on Mars will probably get dusty at one of the many potential landing sites this orbiter will inspect all over the planet."


Please let just one of these potential landing sites be in the Cydonia region . . .

The phrase "boots on Mars" sounds disturbingly like the phrase "boots on the ground" and so makes Mars sound like Iraq.... (Damn Martians and their WMDs!)
