Pretty, isn’t it? You can find endless copies of it online; just search on the term "mars skyline". It’s been picked up on tons of Tumblrs and other social media. But yeah, there’s just one problem: it’s not real. I knew right away it wasn’t legit, but it’s hard to say exactly how. I’ve run into this problem before; I have a lot of experience looking at space images, and you just get a sense of what’s real and what isn’t. This one screams fake. The landscape color is a bit too saturated for Mars*. The sky’s the wrong color. The clouds are too numerous, the wrong color as well, and they have that "rendered by software" look to them.
You know this neat image of the Martian sky that’s been making the social media rounds, purportedly showing Earth, Venus, and Jupiter as luminescent dots in a Martian twilight? Yeah, well, it’s not real. Phil Plait, aka the “Bad Astronomer,” analyzes the image over on his blog, and gives use the run down on its fakery: I knew right away it wasn’t legit, but it’s hard to say exactly how.

What amazes me is the way that people go into threads and "confirm" to everyone that every little thing is a conspiracy.
The Rover is real. I have followed it's progress.
Now I'm sure you're aware of the popular ATS trend that it's your place to prove that it's fake, or GTFO, as it where.
Can't even share a cool looking picture on here these days..

A few of my friends at NASA/KSC who designed, built, loaded for launch, fired it into space, tracked it and are now monitoring it's progress and controlling it's actions on Mars have a different opinion.

Yes it was built. Yes it was launched (I saw it, I watched it leave earth from my front yard.
I didn't read someone's blog or read someone who wasn't involved in any aspect of the the Mars programs cobbled, contrived or skewed hypothosis or opinion.
I talked to, live next door to, spend plenty of time with these NASA engineers, and watched with my own eye's the reality of the situation.
It differs from your crackpot and beguiled opinion.
PS I can say the same thing about the Apollo Moon landings.
First hand eyewitnessed by me.
Not blog read by you
