Landing site should be interesting for scientist and for normal US tax payers. Eberswalde is interesting for scientists, like 10 000 other sites on Mars, but not for ordinary person. In my opinion selection of Eberswalde crater will be a strategic mistake. Public interest will be short-lived and minimal. Without the support and interest of ordinary people further studies of Mars will not be possible. I hope this post does not initiate any discussion, I want only to express my disappointment and frustration. Mawrth was my favorite and it's hard for me to agree with the rejection of this wonderful place.
