Seriously, you tech-heads, what IS the original resolution that they recieve? Must be big in order to let them inspect da details...

Here lies a toppled god,
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.

One of the three images shows the feature popularly known as the "Face On Mars," at a sharpness of 14.1 feet (4.3 meters) per camera pixel, meaning that the smallest objects that can be seen distinctly in the picture are about the size of a small truck. This resolution is about 10 times sharper than the best of the famous pictures of the "Face" taken by NASA's Viking 1 Mars orbiter in 1976.

I don't know. Depends on a zillion details. Check the web sites for the
ones you care about. I think in all cases they're better than our biggest
Earth-based telescopes.
