NASA as usual has done a stirling job; despite a severly restricted budget. It delivered an expensive, heavy, high-tech science platform to another planet seemingly faultlessly. It is not asking to much to let the tech guys check if everything is OK before blazing away with the images.

NASA takes great strides in sharing the information it gathers with the general public. I have recently been on the NASA website to look at the imagery from the Opportunity Rover (still going strong), and the images, which are high resolution, are available to the public free of charge not to mention video and audio. The same goes for ESA.
