Mars Rover views Rock formations

The layered geologic past of Mars is revealed in stunning detail in new color images returned by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover, which is currently exploring the "Murray Buttes" region of lower Mount Sharp. The new images arguably rival photos taken in U.S. National Parks. The Martian buttes and mesas rising above the surface are eroded remnants of ancient sandstone that originated when winds deposited sand after lower Mount Sharp had formed.

Mars has natural beauty , but would you want to live there someday?

Mars would be a nice change. A red planet instead of a blue one.

It's a pretty place, but the natural beauty is far more uniform then it in on planet Earth. Also, you'd never really be able to go outside living on Mars. Even if they figured out a good way to cheaply and abundantly supply: food, water, shelter, etc...you'd still be going from a habitat to space suit to rover to habitat without ever being able to feel the wind on your face or directly breathe the air. That would really get to me after a while. Also, I prefer having lots of people around me and based on the distances and cost associated with settling people on Mars there won't be many people (more than 10,000) living there for a long time to come, if ever.

Those are all very good points. The only way to experience Mars without a spacesuit, would be to change the planet into another earth. That technology needs to hurry up and be invented.

You know that we are still exploring Mars? There could be much more worth finding.

But they're rocks... ON MARS! It's like looking at clips from a sci-fi movie, but it's the real deal! No amount of CGI can stack up to it. I felt like I was physically there just looking at the pictures.
