Most of the image are actually just broken down. You can find more images that are all put together
http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/p...20040125a.html As for the 'Joystick' in question, I was actually just making a joke but as to what it really is, NASA's Mars website doesn't give out much information as to the instruments that the rover use.

The joystick like thing is actually a sun dial for high school kids to do experiments with.
I also found out that this thing transmits those files at 120bits per second. It must seriously take a long time to transmit those pictures. Jeez... How about the software updates for the first rover? Wow...

it seems that the Rover has landed in a small crater.

Do you really think we are on mars or if this is just some hoax? My coworkers were discussing this and they got on the topic of a couple years back of when pics from the moon were released and on one of the pics there was a line down the middle that turned out to be a corner of a wall.

If we were...we'll be in another kind of matrix-type of discussion...only the government would know
Oh, now that you discovered the truth, FBI has locked on your location and is on their way...run...
