I realize the main purpose of this (and any) mission is scientific - which mainly means geological - and that's how it should be, and fine by me. Personally though I am always gobsmacked by images of our own hardware on another planet - whether this one, or Oppy imaging its own heatshield on the surface, or the Sojourner's image of the mother Pathfinder lander. That human/engineering touch on another world really gets me somehow.
