Has It Been A Year Already?

Absolutely. In fact, it's been a Martian year, 687 earth days, since that plucky Mars rover, Spirit, landed on the Red Planet. To celebrate, NASA released this panoramic view of the Martian landscape with the Mars rover digitally inserted. NASA included the rover to give the viewer perspective and a sense of virtual presence. And to give conspiracy-theory wackos fodder for their misconceptions. Anyway I love cool engineering feats like this and pirated this photo from the NASA website.

Now if NASA could only insert these guys into the scene.
