I was looking for a picture for reference to try to understand how it actually could be done, I must say, I'm quite curious :) Anyway, if you take a look at this picture: [ link to www.popularmechanics.com] It shows that APXS and MAHLI are mounted on the 5-joint 7ft long robotic arm, which is not visible, but in the photo there is a grey "pole" sticking out from the place where the robotic arm apparently is, so maybe this pole is the 1st of 5 joints of the arm and the rest was shopped out. I may be completely wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are some CGI experts on this forum to find where (if) the photos had the arm visible. Thanks for the drawing. It shows exactly where the arm should be, and clearly it is not in the NASA photo. If it was 'shopped out, NASA images cannot be trusted, period. And what would be the point of NASA going to the trouble to seamlessly remove the arm? Isn't that part of the self-portrait? Why would they remove it and not say so, which only begs for criticism? The possible choices, as I see it: -- NASA images are fake -- The rover isn't on Mars -- Something or someone is on Mars and we weren't told about it, and that someone/thing took the photo
