ARES - That's what I'm talking about!!!

This future MARS mission, I think, would be one of the best and most important. Finally we would be able to see relativly close pictures of MARS as seen from this airplane. Once and for all we could prove or disprove anomolous features such as "the face", Cydonia, standing water, trees, ruins and more. That's if NASA would go to those places and then actually show us if they discovered anything!

Here's the info on the plane and mission...

Now this is what I want to see, no more orbital pictures that leave much to speculation.

Your thoughts?

Wow, that is interesting. That 'plane' looks fantastic, that would be amazing if they got that over there. How will it get over there though, will it be launched from a probe, or is it the actual probe that will be sent for low-level flight over the surface?

It will be in a probe just like the rovers, then parachute into the atmosphere, then unfo9ld into it's final shape and start flying!
