Remote Planetary Exploration - What would you most like to SEE?

[Macavity]

Easy: Simply a SIDE VIEW of a planetary cloudscape! Would we see exotic Nimbostratus?

Pity the "Galileo" probe didn't carry a camera: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap971030.html

A close up of the Io volcano?

[SteelRat]

Active hydrothermal vents at Europa and...

[algol]

a slight accident that smashes through ice on europa and finds an underwater alien tootin at camera

[Becky]

I'd love to see a close up on one of the geological features of Mars, such as olympus mons or even the 'face'.

On a light hearted note, I'd love to see an LGM waving from a window on the surface of Iapetus. (Richard Hoagland- http://www.enterprisemission.com/ reckons its a hollow spacecraft, a 'dyson sphere')

Peace and Clear Skies.

An aerobot exploration into the Mars Canyons - and the polar caps (no landers can get there!)

[SteelRat]

Rovers and aerobots at Gliese 581d? :shock:

Even with "creative" use of Newtonian Mechanics etc., the 2004 BBC

series: Space Odyssey: Voyage to the planets, was quite fun...

[Sam]

Even though Pluto is not a planet anymore I would like see surface pictures of what it looks like during the periods it has an atmosphere.

How about landing a rover on one of the Saturnian rings shepherd moons, what a picture that could take!
