360deg Mars Panorama

Spectacular image

The full size version (click on the pic) is well worth the download for those on broadband. It's well worth it on dialup too, but it's 6 meg.

Incredible seeing the rovers tracks on the surface.. We have 2 golf carts roaming around on Mars. Still incredible to think about, given the fact that they almost didn't make it.

Has anyone else read/bought the "Roving Mars" book by Steve Squyres? It's an amazing read and if you like space science/space exploration, I can't recommend it highly enough.
