Olympus Mons, the planet Mars.

Like everyone else, I've been going outside to scope out the planet Mars over the last week or so. I'm as fascinated by Mars as anyone - - a planet that's somewhat Earthlike, but also violently different, where humans will one day set up their first colonies on another planet. (My firm belief is that colonization is our destiny, and we'd best be about it.) Mars is there, and it's waiting. What are we waiting for?

(Here is a great gallery of Mars pics.)
