Like the position of oppurtunity. They describe it as "jackpot". Granted
there is some bedrock there to check out but thats it!
I don't see nothing else.

Then you are blind. :-P

I today was looking at that massive crater that they landed very close
to and wondering what that stripy stuff was down the bottom?

Then from these low res views that stuff looks not unlike a cross
between mud and fresh tarmac.

The interest should shoot up 10,000% when the high res scan is
returned over the next few days, when then you should see some very
interesting stuff and plain freaky things.

I think Jackpot would have been more correct if
bedrock existed and then over at another spot another type of rock existed.

Bedrock is a term to describe that what exists under a soil covering,
which means that there could well be a great amount of different forms
of bedrock around this region.

And hey no martian dust everywhere, where here you have a very strange
surface.

Almost everything that happens that can be hyped does get hyped.

Ah well if you spent years on a project that could have gone splat on
Mars, then you would also be very happy to see those first pictures
and what this unusual surface is really like.

Also I noticed that this was a good event for the men there to give
the women there a nice long breast squeezing hug. :-]
