I've started a new blog on this topic at http://futureplanets.blogspot.com/
This blog supplements UMSF by allowing on topic discussions that include politics and other topics not appropriate here. The first entry is up with some additional news on the MSL funding and schedule problems. -------------------- |

I remember pre-MRO orbit insertion, there was some talk that 25cm wouldn't be achievable due to atmospheric effects. Now that has been put to rest, are there any thoughts on how high resolution we could get from an orbiter? 5 cm or maybe even less? Would be crazy to read the sundials on the MERs from space!
