'Red Dragon' Mission Mulled as Cheap Search for Mars Life

It doesn't have any surface camera's, but considering it's ellipse lands smack down where we have traversed before, we fortunately know what the place looks like. So when it lands, going back to the Pre-Victoria sol's is what I'm going to do. If we get lucky, it could land pretty close to where we have traversed and that's all you need..Meridiani is consistently featureless ripples for miles and miles.
