Lump of wood found on Mars

What if? That's all humans ever say! I'm sick of it! ...Uh, I mean, uh, I'm human... Really, I'm normal! Believe me!

paranoia runs rampant again i see. first off the mars rovers have performed longer and better than anyone could've hoped for in their wildest dreams. they are both going on 5 years now on the surface of mars, a far cry from the original 3 to 8 month mission. second they were sent to mars to investigate the possibility that mars was once wetter and warmer than it is today. both have proved that rather conclusively. water once did exist as a liquid on the surface of mars and the planet was much warmer than it is today. third they were not sent there to go chasing off after every strange looking rock to satisfy the paranoid delusions of a lunatic fringe who think that everything in the world has a conspiracy behind it. not only is there very little scientific merit in such endeavors, the amount of work it would take to shift gears and alter the rovers programming, plus the time it would take to reach said strange rocks is simply not worth it in the long run. some of you need to get the fu*k over yourselves. NASA does not exist to satisfy your every whim and delusion. the mars rovers are designed for and are being used to answer fundamental questions about the state of the climate on mars long ago not to go chasing after rocks that look weird. a simple search will yield many, many rock formations on earth that look like everything from birds to animals to human faces, all produced by natural weathering. mars has some of the most vicious sandstorms known and the human imagination can a mountain out of an anthill sometimes.

I think this merits further investigation: Strange Looking Rock Discovered on the Surface of Mars. -stray-

third they were not sent there to go chasing off after every strange looking rock to satisfy the paranoid delusions of a lunatic fringe who think that everything in the world has a conspiracy behind it. not only is there very little scientific merit in such endeavors, the amount of work it would take to shift gears and alter the rovers programming, plus the time it would take to reach said strange rocks is simply not worth it in the long run. some of you need to get the fu*k over yourselves.

Yeah, but if they found a rock that looked like a huge pocket protector, then we'd be deluged with millions of up close snaps of that thing.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324800,00.html Go to this site ... click on the NASA photo link ... zoom in on the lower left corner ... scroll around a bit, you'll find the humanoid. I also spotted what appeared to be a deer taking a drink of water just to the right of the humanoid, and a rock that looks like Obi-Wan to the right of the "deer". Mike is correct. This appears to be a trick of light. NASA COULD if they wished send the rover over that way for a closer look, but it might take weeks to reach it ... those rovers are slooow ... -stray-

[blind2d]

Yes they are, but at least they work. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll go to Mars. Y'know, if 2012 doesn't happen...
