Mars is really disappointing when compared to the Mars we've seen in movies. Thanks to Hollywood my perception of Mars is permanently inaccurate and exaggerated. I thought it would be a lot more... red... and out-of-this-world like.

Honestly, it looks like Namibia, Africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SAC_Namibia-escarpment2.jp.... It looks so realistic and dare I say it, "down to earth". On one hand it feels touchable and visitable and on the other hand, boring and visually uninspiring.
