My feeling exactly. I can’t even tell where the chasm is.
At least we know there really is a face on Mars.

This is nothing like Beggar’s Canyon back home! I can make the trip in 8 parsecs!

Largest canyon… that we know of. We haven’t been able to penetrate the atmosphere of Jupiter, for example, very well so we really don’t know if there are canyons there are not
