I love the ALSJ; however, although it's not my place, I take issue with the poor choice (IMHO) of the term…”cartoons” and the “sigh” remark. “Sigh”, “UGH” and a host of other vulgar & disparaging sounds befit most NASA attempts at any ‘attempt/effort’ regarding image preservation, description, presentation, cataloging, etc., etc., etc. Not the fact that this doesn't represent actual candidate landing site topography.
I’m okay with a little dramatic terrain. I’m also thankful they have it & shared it!
