Not to detract from the coolness of this picture (which I agree is impressive), but has everyone totally forgotten about 1997's <A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9707/06/mars.wrap/">pathfinder</A> (which sent its own <A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9707/06/mars.wrap/panorama.lg.jpg">panoramas</A> back as well)?

It's just that everyone seems to be going on about how novel this all is -- as if it's the first time -- and nary a word about the sojourner/pathfinder expedition... I tend to wonder...
