You cant get more detail out of the image, but you can preserve it as you zoom in.
You cannot go beyond the resolution of the original image. A pixel resize just makes the pixels bigger, including jpg artifacts.
It is not a helmet. It is not a part of machinery. There is no strap. There is no wire.
It is a rock.

Your incredulous demeanor is annoying as hell.
Various zooming algorithms can do all kinds of things. Here is a pixel resize of the image, zoomed about to the level of yours (about 700%). This is the only detail available in the original, all the "detail" in your image is added by the software by "guessing" what could be in between the native pixels.
For starters, software will not add 45 degree angles and corresponding shadows.
That's because whatever this thing is, it's bent.

Notice the angles?

I won't comment on your credulous demeanor.
Not to mention your lack of understanding of imaging software.

Mastcam is made up of both the Mastcam 100 (left) and Mastcam 34 (right) cameras. Mastcam 100, offers telephoto capability while the other, Mastcam 34, offers a wider-angle view. Each can provide color images and high-definition video, and they can be combined for stereo views. Credit: NASA/JPL/Malin Space Science Systems
The Mars Hand Lens Imager, or MAHLI (Figure 3), will provide earthbound scientists with close-up views of the minerals, textures, and structures in Martian rocks and the surface layer of rocky debris and dust. Approximately four centimeters wide (1.5 inches), the camera will take color images of features as small as 12.5 micrometers, smaller than the width of a human hair.

yes, you apparently still think no rock has any angles ....
What hole? Care to prove that there is a hole in the rock? Remember, a shadoy does not mean there is a hole....

I do not think anyone could do that.
a bit of the rock sticking up of course...
The problem is you have too few pixels to work with, but desperately want to see something. Remember the same nonsense occured with the Face on Mars, courtesy of Hoaxland....
But the image doesn't come from the mastcam or MAHLI, does it?
Curiosity's mast cam is FAR more superior than that.
You would think wrong. No. I didn't use MSpaint. I used something quite a bit better. But tell me, what zoom algorithm did you use? Bicubic? Bilinear? Weighted? Because you sure didn't use a pixel resize and those others all make "guesses" at what's between the pixels. Here you go, learn something about interpolation. It can't provide detail which does not exist.
Like paint? Is that what you used to zoomed it to 700% I would think high resolution images on crappy software is like running a gigabit through a 56k modem.
No. The guys working on the LCROSS impact did. They marked the impact site image as a visual aid. (A video from ADG? Really? )
Did the software put in all the detail in this one too?
