First we don't know what new type of sensor or capture method might be available down the road to make megapixels seem unimportant. I really don't think anyone to this day really fully understands just how technology was advanced from Apollo in so many different areas. They actually had to develop a special Hasselblad that could be used in the suits.
Now the technology we have today may have limits, but look how small a cell phone has become and what it can do in the last 15 years. I can only expect that a creative and inventive mind will find a better way to capture images just as the technology of the 60s was used to go to the moon.

Mark,
I presume you mean that Earth will be like Mars sooner than we expect!
Unlimited cheap processing power will enable us Earthlings to live

sensors and huge processors? Like multi-mirror astronomical telescopes.
