The most *amazing* picture of Mars that I've ever seen!

Actually, a base on Mars doesnt make as much sense as a base on the Moon. Mars is *way* too cold for us to inhabit (not to mention the bad radiation we would be bombarded with), but there is nothing scientist could do that a rover (robot) could not -and its cheaper.

I'm interested in the Moon because of the mining opportunities it presents. The Moon has minerals that scientist say are one million times for powerful than coal (the name eludes me now, but it was mentioned in an issue of Time 2 weeks ago), and would be less harmful to the atmosphere. This is a good thing. They are also saying that there is enough of these minerals to sustain the US for 1000 years. This is probably why Bush jumped on the recent aumentation of NASAs budget.
 
I dont know if thats part of the satellite getting in the way of the camera, or of the picture was digitally peiced together and those are the missing peices. I think the way that the pictures are taken from these satellites are different I from traditional photography.
