I saw this on Business Insider and thought it was interesting. It is dated January 15, so if someone has already posted it, please disregard!

This shows the actual size of Mars, in comparison to the continent of North America. Now imagine if you will, Olympus Mons is bigger than the state of Arizona! And Valle Marinaris is longer than the U.S., from LA to NYC!

People like me (with significant physical disabilities) would appreciate the gravity, approx. 1/3 the gravity of Earth. Of course, it would be a long time before someone like me would be able to go (tourist and amateur rock-hound!) but an old lady can dream!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!

It's all a matter of perspective!
