I find it amusing that the news highlights and most visitors to these

what it is actually capable of discovering. Ive seen 300++ posts on the
solar cells, and 100+ about the "fake" color in the camera shots. But ZERO
discussion about the interesting nature of the sand on mars. Things like
why ultra-dry super-fine dust should clump together like that on the
smaller scales.

Wanting everyone to be a geologist now?

I am certainly interested in the soil and the rocks, mostly hanging
around the question of "what the hell is that?". I am under the
assumption that the scientist there will explain this in time.

And don't forget the water.
