"One of the more interesting and appealing activities of the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) observational objectives identified in the original 1985 Mars Observer proposal was to image landers on the martian surface. The scientific goal of this objective is to place the landers into their geologic context, which in turn helps the science community to better understand the results from the landers. In addition to this, the MOC team believed that it would be 'really neat' to see the landers sitting on the surface."

I'd like to see some well-known planetary scientist pull a switch on NASA and tell them that what they think are the Viking Lander 2 and Mars Polar Lander are actually natural formations!
That's not as nutty as it might sound!
