Mars

Yeah, kinda reminds me of Independence Day, the movie... :D

I am disappointed with area they chose to explore with the rovers.

Now we can wait for the highest resolution photos yet, when the next orbiter arrives. That is, after NASA censors them.
 
I don't believe that the photos are censored. But maybe I'm not cynical enough. :)

However, I'm not the best person to debate with over the rovers...I just don't have the interest level to know that much about them. I should substitute my DH in this conversation. He's a big space buff, and has followed the Mars (and every other mission) very closely. I showed him this thread last night, and it seems he is in disagreement with you over Excavating Cydonia. :D Unfortunately, he's not big on arguing over the internet. LOL!

If not Cydonia, then what about these "things"?

The second photo is from farther away.
Let me know if they open or not...

They're pictures of lights and shadow that have been overanalyzed by someone who's looking for something that doesn't exist? Doesn't take much use Photoshop to "enhance" a photo. ;)

One of the rovers, BTW, has reached the top of Husband Hill, apparently the panoramic photos are amazing. Check out this photo! According to DH, the rovers have also made it through a Martian year, and have recharged to the same power level they had when they first landed. :)

Those photos are not enhanced at all! They are direct from NASA. I remember when they first came out.

Here's more info. Scroll halfway down to "The Martian Tubes". These are actual NASA photos. Read the article... :eek: http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa030501b.htm



Since they are not "tampered with" -- what do you think it could be?

Kinda humbling imagining what it is...... Maybe a better word is "awe", as in incredibly awesome!

I looked at all the photos you linked, and read the text. The first website seems to have been written quite a while ago, since it refers to the current rovers in future tense. Personally, I think the items in these images are not constructions, but naturally occuring geological formations. Simple light and shadow can create images that our eyes see as structure. It happens with formations on earth too. The human brain is constantly trying to create order out of chaos, not surprising when looking at foreign terrain. I don't know if the rovers have gone anywhere near there, or plan to in the near future. I'm sure the terrain will be looked at at some point, and I bet it will be interesting, but not nearly as amazing as it's been made out to be.
