Looks like we are not going to have that initial comprehension problem that came with the MOC images, when the resolution leaped up and suddenly we didn't understand what we were seeing any more.

With our extensive MOC database, and the wonderful experience of the MER rovers that have shown how ground detail relates to satellite images (in a limited area, mind you), we are better placed, I think, to understand the wealth of new detail.

It certainly shows that all future Mars researchers will need a VERY big hard drive!
