    As someone who will be showing a lot of the public
    Mars in the next few weeks, thanks for mentioning
    this. Ignoring the mainstream media, who tend
    to get things confused in science or only emphasize dangers, here are some good places to go for good Mars information:

    Where is Mars in Your Sky?

    And the actual Mars Rovers pages at JPL
