My Pick of Pic's December 19, 2003 Mars Pathfinder Landing Site The Mars Pathfinder mission was the third successful landing on Mars and brought us our best view of the red planet to date. The view from the lander is of a desolate landscape. Large rocks and dirt dominate the foreground. A few hill tops can be seen in the distance. It is fascinating to see these pictures for the comfort of home. But the three-D anaglyphs give us the sense that we are really there, tourist class. "Looking out the window to your left you will see the twin peaks of the Sagen Memorial Station", the bus driver might say. We can only image what will be seen as the next wave of landers arrive this winter. In a little over one month we will double the number of landing from three to six.
