Good old Daily Mail... can't be Michael Hanlon's piece, he knows his stuff. Some sausage-fingered staff writer has provided us with these nuggets...
NASA researchers have documented the formation of new craters on the plant's surface and found bright, light-coloured deposits in gullies that were not present in previous photos. The "plant's " surface?!?!?!? They've spotted plants on Mars big enough to have craters on them! How the **** did the Vikings miss those?!?  Earlier this week the MOC took pictures of the NASA exploration vehicle rover Spirit on the planet's surface. MOC imaged Spirit? Wow, they kept that quiet.... Oops! Someone didn't do their research...

QUOTE (Stu @ Dec 6 2006, 05:10 PM)  Earlier this week the MOC took pictures of the NASA exploration vehicle rover Spirit on the planet's surface. MOC imaged Spirit? Wow, they kept that quiet.... Oops! Someone didn't do their research... Oh, I'm not so sure of that... (though the Daily Mail, the original "fascist rag", is hardly a journal of record.) Steve Squyres did say that Spirit and environs was pretty high up the priority target lists. Unlike the VC image, I imagine there'd be no need to rush-release the image. I'm rather hoping it's both... perhaps a gully has appeared on the side of Husband Hill BTW - yes please, if anyone has access to NASA TV and feels like posting notes... please do!

Sorry, I didn't insert a "sarcastic g*t" icon when I said about them keeping quiet MOC imaging Spirit...
