Beautiful images from Mars, wow
Seems like it could be a piece of the landing gear itself... or a meteor?

People are speculating its a handle to a hatch.
The picture is from the series "Lost" in which one of the mystery's early on was why there is a hatch on the island. The picture depicts the first moment they opened the hatch.

Most likely yes, that's what they will do I'd imagine. However Mars surface does seem a bit difficult to traverse.

They should have put that 10000 mega pixel camera on that rover so we could see more detail | |

they really need to put more funding into space travel...the world as a whole that is.
Cost of London Olympics: $14.5 Billion
Cost of sending Curiosity to Mars: $2.5 Billion
