America owns Mars

Whee ha! Only goes to show that when you want a job done right, ask the Americans to do it for you.
Although I’d be a lot more impressed if the pictures were being sent back by a human rather than by a machine. If we’d implemented Mars Direct back in the first Bush administration, we’d be there by now. (See the Mars Society’s website and read Robert Zubrin’s The Case for Mars for more on Mars Direct.)
