I agree.

It's not that I'm against space exploration, I'm just against spending money on dead planets.

It looks really... empty.Khoaki

That place could be nice with fresh paint, some nice curtains, a couple of throw pillows, etc.

The first image is very interesting when zooming closely in the craters and looking at what appears to be "non-natural" formations.

Where have all the people gone to? Was there a funeral on or something?

If I wasnt told it was Mercury I would have guessed it was the moon.

Kinda weird how some of the circles form an almost perfect triagle, if you drew lines connecting them :?Fire_Ants

I see triangles too, and not just with the craters, weird.

Got it from there... it's the official source for the Messenger mission. Can also be found on http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/messenger/main/index.html

If that's fake, then NASA sent a 263$ million probe there for nothing :)
