MRO can transmit data to Earth at up to 6Mb/s. THAT'S FOUR TIMES BETTER THAN ADSL IN RURAL DERBYSHIRE.
Grand Canyon of Gale Crater - part of a grand selection of HiRISE images around Gale Crater, landing site of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, a.k.a. Curiosity. When's it landing? Today! Or tomorrow, if you're east of the central USA.
