Father,
Are you certain that is Mars? It looks like Fort Irwin, CA (National Training Center) … where I spent 3 years …. Our northern border was Death Valley!

I agree, I also thought, that is Mars? It looks like just a place! This landscape could have turkey vultures in it, or banthas.
Startling this rover is still roving. I wonder if the white in the foreground is ice.
Yes, how amazing to see a landscape of another planet!
I’ve been there! That’s along I82 in SE Washington state.
[ROFL!]
It would be useful to have something to establish scale…my impression is that those mountains in the background are considerably larger than we would think, as we tend to think in “earth scale”. And those small rocks in the foreground….are they a few inches across, or many feet across? And how far is it to those first “small rocks”? 15 feet? 3/4 of a mile? It’s difficult to tell.
That looks like the California desert; Death Valley, perhaps. I like JohnE’s description better, though-more clever! ; )
But this picture is so cool! I’m glad that little Opportunity is still going strong!
If they could only find some Roman inscriptions, it would make my day. :)
Simply amazing. And this is one spot on a whole world that has been in existence from the dawn of creation….untouched by man. Just stop and think about that for a second.
Thanks for this Father! I’d never have seen it otherwise.
Rich R: yes! I couldn’t stop thinking of the hymn: “O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the works thy hand hath made…”
Chironomo:
“my impression is that those mountains in the background are considerably larger than we would think,”
Isn’t that just the rim of the crater itself, actually, not mountains?
If they are mountains, I agree, they are nice rolling hills (not unlike many of those we have here in Ireland). Well, except for the colour, of course. Oh yeah, and the oxygen as well…
@RichR
I think there is potential for a good science fiction story that would hinge on the idea that God gave man dominion over Earth, but not over other planets.
For the record, I think the grant of dominion applies to all the physical universe, but for a story one could argue otherwise. As a practical matter, of course, we certainly lack any effective dominion over any place outside Earth. My guess is that it would cost about $1,000,000,000,000 to give an astronaut a 50% chance of surviving a trip to Mars and back. (One NASA estimate is for half that amount.) For the foreseeable future, the trillion-dollar obstacle will be harder to overcome than the technical obstacles.
