          • I can not find an MOC image for those exact coordinates. - REB - 5/31/2007 6:46:36 PM
          • I am searching through the MOC files for it. I found another one very close to it. - REB - 5/31/2007 5:57:40 PM
            • And notice that dark layering in those collapsed lava tubes. - REB - 5/31/2007 6:06:37 PM

                        • MER would make a good platform - Fox - 5/30/2007 4:00:19 AM
