   Bored by an image of a rock on  Mars rock - heart shaped or not ?   
      
   Pity you .   
      
   These are exciting times in surface  exploration of planets - especially   
   Mars at this time.   
      
   Thirty years ago we didn't have close up images of rocks  from the surface   
   of Mars .   
      
   I suppose you wouldn't be 'bored' if there was a little green life spore   
   sitting on one of these rocks ?   
      
   But, then again , maybe you would !   
      
   Perhaps you've seen too much virtual reality in fantasy movies filmed in New   
   Zealand and 'real life' images of these Mars rocks are not enough for you   
   :-)
