No dude the next camera is about to be launched to Mars within a few weeks/months. It will be much larger and has some new goodies on board. Among wich a laser wich in can shoot at a hard to reach rock and with a robotic camera make out the components of the material.

A Manned Mars mission isnt planned for the next 20 years!

Oh well after looking for a animated pic i see the noobs at the jet propulsion laboratoria made a hardware mistake and the launch has been delayed. What a pitty i was looking forward to new Mars pics.
