Incredible images... simply breathtaking!

I wish our technology was at a point where we could fly there and see it in person. Awe inspiring.

Thanks.

Nah. If we had that kinda technology, some joker'd also probably try to terraform it =^[.]~=.

It certainly is awe-inspiring! To see a lava curtain, like we've seen on Kilauea in Hawai'i, is just amazing!

Waitaminute, if that lava flow's flaming, doesn't that mean there's oxygen there?!?

Nice!

But -- oxygen? What? What?
Probably a terraforming going bad as we watch...
