The wonder of Mars in its seasonal glory

NASA/JPL-CALTECH/UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

These dark, fern-like features on the floor of the Antoniadi Crater tell the story of an ancient wet environment on Mars where life may have existed. One hypothesis is that these represent a network of channels that now stand in inverted relief. The channels may have become filled in with materials more resistant to erosion These dark, fern-like features on the floor of the Antoniadi Crater tell the story of an ancient wet environment on Mars where life may have existed.

..the only alternative explanation to the obvious praise and awe of the magnificent USA is to point out that there must be oil on Mars. Clealry, since oil is the product of life, when the USA finds life on MArs it should receive no praise just hatred for putting oil first as it "always" does (as all right thinking apes know).

is that they did not re-photograph the ancient ruins, pyramids, face, artifacts etc, that the Malin Space Sciences/NASA air-brushers failed to totally airbrush. These photos clearly show that the myth perpetuated by the US Govt that Mars has no evidence of..etc. is totally false. www.entetrprisemission.com or www.data4science.net etc show these photos. Step outside the box and be truly amazed..

Those sites have been imaged again and they are just rocks - totally natural. Look again, the pictures are there to find and freely available. Do a bit of work before you jump to fantastic conclusions.

If you research The Face analysis, you will find that the earlier photos were of a much higher resolution, and had symmetry, teeth, eyebrows etc. The so- called rocks were deliberately distorted images of lower resolution photos.. Either they fooled you, or you are one of the misinformer brigade. Maybe a quick reality check on www.theyfly.com? It does require just a little courage to step outside of the mid-controlled box.

The mark of a true conspiracy theorist is to put forward an idea that is so mind-numbingly and self-evidently stupid that its sheer idiocy somehow makes it credible. NASA - an organisation facing budget cuts and the likely cutting back of its plans for Moon and Mars missions - is meant to be *hiding* evidence of life on Mars? It would be like finding oil in your back yard when you were facing repossession and saying 'no, nothing there!'

The original Viking pictures of the Cydonia complex were low-resolution. Better images were obtained by Mars Global Surveyor, and NASA made sure to release them immediately to address claims they they might have been doctored. Also, are the Europeans meant to be in on this conspiracy too, via the Mars Express probe?

Then go to Ted teitmeier`s site, data4science and or listen to him. Call him a conspirycy nut, not me, I am just the messenger. http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2006/12dec/RICR-061214.html..This is a talk on US radio about what NASA is not telling us about Mars. Yes there is a conspiracy of silence, not a conspiracy by those who have exposed it the falsities, airbrushed photos etc. Just maybe you are in the employ of one of these agencies, but too far down the scale to know what goes on above your head.

So. You don't believe that the Milk Marketing Board suppressed the fact that the moon is made of cheese? Leave tom alone, he enjoys his fantastic conclusions.

I rarely waste the time to actually comment on stuff like this, but I visited some of the websites you've listed, and holy crap! How do you fail to see the agenda the hosts of these sites have! It is blatantly obvious that they just want your money... all the conspiracy bullshit they post leads you to one thing: Buy our DVD/Book/CD today! EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA. We live in a world ruled by commercialism, don't be an idiot and let people take the best of you.

So you are saying that because somebody with a website exposing NASA is selling product, ie CDs, that makes them the fraud, as it becomes a purely commercial venture. You fail to explain how any of the official NASA photos that show previous intelligent civilization or biologicaL life, could have been faked. Your continued use of `conspiracy theory` exposes you as a misinformer. Next you will tell us that an Arab in a cave in Afghan. shut down the half trillion dollar US air defenses on 911 with his laptop, and anybody who dares think otherwise is a nutcase conspiracy theorist. http://www.enterprisemission.com/_articles/03-08-2004/crinoid_cover-up.htm This shows cover up of fossils, ie previousbiological life. http://www.enterprisemission.com/spirit2.htm. This shows mechanical parts. Others must go explore, and not be put off by your gatekeeping insults.

Do trolls like tommytcg really have nothing better to do than wind people up? Perhaps the sense of power thereby derived from "playing" people goes towards compensating for deficiencies in other areas of their lives?

Great pics by the way!

Another misinformer, easily identified by their reverting to insults, and for failing to discuss any one single NASA/Malin Space Sciences photo, found on multiple websites. One such site, enterprismission.com being from a previous science advisor to NASA. These photos show clear evidence of previous civilization/s, fossils, plant life etc. on Mars, (and man-made structures the Moon). You will have to find another approach to stop people opening their eyes.
