What he means is,
Wow! These are the best images from either rover over their entire mission! Absolutely spectacular! It's a shame you can't see them

Apart from some little pockmarks like Concepcion and Fram, this is the first real ejecta deposit we've seen at Meridiani. Great place to stop for a shortish break! A full panorama would be really nice.

Yep. I wonder if they'll take the chance to climb (even partialy) on the mount on the left. This is the place for the HOV we're looking for.

Somehow, when I look at these latest pictures I have to think about Sojourner.
