Looking at these images makes me wonder if we'll ever see the Red Planet in person someday.

Wow, these are awesome... I really hope they find out more about this planet, and if it is habitable? =P

Breathtaking. Perhaps one day we'll end up there once our planet is totally raped of all it's resources.

If Nasas budget doesn't get slashed then yes and within most of our lifetimes.

They look computer generated... are they not an artists impersonation or something?

Edit: Impression, not impersonation.... you were slow there AcidHell

No. the ones in colour are fake colour though. Just high res, even high res images of earth have that computer feel to them.
