This is super neat. I posted it to my network. Can you imagine the shock & awe this would have caused back when I was in high school, about the time Sputnik went up?

I think those of our age have lived through an amazing era. You're right...when Sputnik went around the earth that was an amazing feat. There has been such an explosion of technology in the past 50 years. Seeing this panorama of the Mars surface amazes me... I guess kids of today probably think nothing of it because they've grown up to expect things like that. Too bad they can't appreciate it as much as we do. |

Science was so much easier to grasp in the days of Mr. Wizard and Disney's Tomorrowland. In those days we could fascinate ourselves with magnets, gears, clockwork and chemistry sets, and it was all easy to understand if we only applied ourselves a little. In today's science, kids don't have anything to observe but results, as everything has moved to a submicroscopic level that operates at unimaginable speeds and with accuracy that's almost impossible to express in human terms. It's little wonder the curiosity has gone.

JB it looks like what you see at Frenchmans Dry Lake 60 miles north of you, near Mercury.
