Opportunity Backshell

Hi! I'm a Native American Indian of the Apache Nation. I'm very interested in the exploration of Mars. I've been checking out all the photos, sort of looks like my friends back yard on her resevation too ha ha. A whole lot of nothing!

I wonder if there are any Native Moonians???

And what would they have to say to us very first explorers from the planet Earth. Or better yet --- Americans???What do you think????

That's not the backshell. The backshell looks like a lampshade. That thing looks nothing like the backshell.

MarsGal, did you ever stop to consider that impacting the ground could change something's shape? And also that a 3-dimensional shape tends to have a differing appearance depending on what angle you view it from? For example, a cone looks like a triangle when viewed from the side, but looks like a circle when viewed from below or above.
