I love seeing these pictures but so many of them are either B&W or false colour. Are there really no colour cameras on robot probes?
I've got £5 riding on whether or not K'Breel is of the blue caste. I must know!

It's not enough that it's a bloody alien landscape?
What you're waiting for a starbucks to be built there?
It's going to be rocks and sky all the time unless something bloody amazing is found. In that case I assume they'll show it on Newsround.
[edit]
Photos being sent to you from another planet by a nuclear powered robot not interesting these days?
Aaaand the Nuclear Powered Robot is fitted with frickin lasers.

I'm sure it's all very worthwhile and will eventually secure the future of our species etc
but one rocky desert world looks very much like the next to me.

Maybe it is only a desert and as it drives around it will get to someplace interesting, like Kentucky.
