Strange New Worlds
To be sure, I had hoped that Spirit would quickly confirm that bodies of liquid water had once existed on Mars, and that the research and analysis would go easily for the JPL team. That said, I do find it cool that Mars is turning out to truly be an alien world. With all of our modern understanding, I, and I think others, assumed that we would be able to go there, take samples, apply models from Earth, and figure out easily what's going on. But, it turns out in everything from the "mud" in the rover tracks to the discovery of olivine, Mars is a pretty complicated place.
