NASA Selects Mars Landing Sites

carstene writes "NASA has announced the finial landing sites for the upcoming mars rover missions. Looks like they are going looking for water in a dried lake bed and a promising site that looks like it contains hematite."

it there a GPS satellite in Martian orbit?

seems like that would be of more use... I'd love to see a private corporation do that as well as send a "spy" satellite with decent imaging equipment to do an independent analysis of the Cydonia region... I bet that endeavour would go *missing* (cough cough)....another victim of the Cosmic Boogeyman that dislikes most probes we send to that planet...either that or its the Cybermen behind it... NASA has very little credibility in my book. Any agency that claims to lose a probe because they were using English measurements when the scientific community has used the metric system for a century (not to mention the US Military since the creation of NATO) just doesn't pan out... Maybe we should get them to certify the next Presidential election...
