i hadn't even seen a mention of visibility with flight on mars in the article(s).
since mars has a thiner atmostphere (much more than earth's), viewing, navigation, and landing, etc. would be more difficult by the pilot's own eyes, and would have to rely more heavily on his computers to guide him. Telling the diffrence from something far away and close would be very difficult, since there is none, if few obscurities in the air to be able to determine depth.

and what might you be doing right now?
"I feel great that it flew"
I would be pissed!
very nice milestone, a lot of bug fixes. The excel support was the big selling point for me.
