What he meant to say is that HD VIEW is easily the most incredibly technology to be developed since NASA put a man on the moon.  Never before have I. . .er, nm it crashed Firefox.

It's basically like google maps with a big picture instead of a map.

I got it working (but it still crashes when I try to navigate away).  The picture is indeed pretty high resolution, but the horizon isn't very impressive.  Then again, it's all one giant desert, so it's not like there's much to see.

I was more interested in the lander lol. Its just neat seeing proof that we got something that fragile over there safely.
