The forum is no long doing image hosting, so here's how you can post images:
Upload them to an image hosting site such as tinypic or imgur
Acquire the url for the image by right-clicking on the image (press and hold on most mobile devices) and selecting "open image in new tab". Copy the url for that tab
In your post, write the following: [ img ]your_url_here.url[ /img ]. You will need to remove the spaces between the [ ] and the text in between (adding spaces is the only way I know how to make the code show up).
If you have any other questions about the markup language used by newmars, it is called BBCode and you can google it.

Yes, nice images, and l agree, the only high res, image of Mars from orbit is the ESA one, which clearly shows green areas and giant lake areas, and blue atmosphere.

]]>I think Human Missions would probably be the appropriate forum to put that question in? I'll answer here anyway:
1) On the surface, no. Though there will be parts where there won't be apparent craters, because of ice deposits covering them. But that's true for Earth as well. The issue is more about the frequency of impacts.
2) The best place would be underground. Which you're probably going to be doing anyway, because of radiation and the need to counter-balance your atmospheric pressure.
3) Yes, if it's a nickel-iron one. Same as on Earth.
But the atmosphere does a good job of shielding the surface from the tiny ones, and the big ones would be a threat even on Earth...
