      Interesting that Dean Norris was on Mars and has a special interest in rocks minerals.

      I’ve been to the Vasquez Rocks where that was shot. It’s right by a freeway that definitely also existed in the 60s. They had to use some very creative camera work in terms of where they pointed it. It’s kind of impressive.

      That’s how I figured which was which (I don’t have the ability to quickly figure out left from right like most people have, so that left me time to play at guessing).

        I still sometimes hold my hands in front of me and see which one makes a natural L shape with index finger and thumb.

      I believe it’s the Atacama desert in Chile, according to a reverse image search.

          It was harder to identify than I expected, because the article I found was from Chile, and my Spanish is rusty. Lol

    If you find this interesting, you would probably enjoy the Mars Guy youtube channel. Weekly updates on the latest rovings of Perseverance.

    Mars hasn’t this nice blue sky. Come on Cohaagen, give these people air… um… I mean an atmosphere.
