Looks like a hoax, if you ask me.

Yeah they couldn't afford colour photography this time around because of all the NASA funding cuts.

Sure, sure.

The "clear" photos of other worlds from space (and on other worlds such as this) that you're used to seeing are almost always many multiple photos that are stitched seamlessly together like a puzzle to show such intricate detail.

A single uncalibrated landing photo such as this just isn't going to show much detail.

The camera has a dust cover on it 'cause the landing jets stir up a ton of dust.

I hope it didn't land on the Martian equivalent of a cat ... 
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I was hoping that when NASA announced that the first picture was coming online, they would mess with all the scientists in mission control by inserting some alien creature staring into the lens.
