4. For some reason, I thought those craters were much larger...
Relative to the tire tracks, they are not very large at all... :-)

9. It's kind of like a fractal. The closer you get, the more the
pattern repeats. Because there is no wind and water to erase features, even the smallest crater from the smallest meteor endures.

5. Very cool.
This brings back memories of the excitement I felt as a child about the Apollo landings.

Unfortunately, the "delusional morons" will simply say that these photos are faked.

6. Amazing photos
They're also coming in from the satellite and ground rovers on Mars and the New Dawn probe currently orbiting the asteroid Vesta in the asteroid belt. It's a great time for space exploration.

7. Those lines? Those are just strings. String theory explains it all.
