If you could click your fingers right now, and magically transport yourself to Mars, which of the many fascinating places Spirit or Opportunity has visited so far would you want to visit for yourself? Which feature would you like to reach out and touch in person? Which view would you like to see for yourself, eyes shielded from the Sun by your gloved hand? And if you could have just one person there with you - maybe someone who you wish you could show Mars to, share your passion for it with, or hear their thoughts on the planet - who would it be..? -------------------- Homepage Astropoetry "Cumbrian Sky" blog "Road to Endeavour" blog
