Starship Asterisk*

[quote="Bob Stothfang"]Looking at the horizontally compressed view I totally agree that the stuck wheel track looks like a road on the side of a hill. In addition to that the dark rocks on first glance looked like pine trees on the side of that hill.

After looking a little closer I realized that we didn't discover plant life on Mars after all.[/quote]

Yeah. :D
I thought - Hey that looks like a fossilised forest of tree stumps!
Right up until I saw the bit about the picture compression.... :lol:

Made me laugh so much that I had to register here to mention it! 8)

I love it whe you guys do this kind of humour! Keep it up! :wink:

Whoa...good catch. :lol:

In case you didn't try, the full size image appears to be the original aspect ratio. Just click the actual image.

I never noticed how much of a fuss Spirit made about dragging the stuck wheel, but you can see how it's turned over the dirt.

Brilliant!
Completely got me.

I was getting quite huffy that this pic had been spoilt by the horizontal compression, then I clicked on the 'to fit your screen' link.
You have a wicked sense of humour.
