Note that the sky is blue and not everything is rust red, so it's probably authentic.

Actually, it's specifically stated that it's false color, to contrast the details 'n' stuff.

oh, that is a load of bs! NASA has a long history of lying about the true color of Mars. They once even admitted it, very, very quietly.

It is possible that whoever labeled that pic just assumed it was false color, after all the years of disinformation. But trust me, that was true color.

I see the rover was doing donuts. Whoever was driving it at the time this pic was taken is SO busted!!
