Cue the music from 2001: A Space Odyssey…they discovered a monolith on the surface of Mars! Here are the details:

It may be at -7.2° 267.4° but Google Earth doesn’t have the high-res photo of that area yet.

That’s my NE corner landmark to the 640 acres I bought last year. Hey! Land’s still cheap there and I bought it as a speculative investment before the demand goes wild.

At least you got in up there before the Democrats did...

LMAO! That would be a great Photoshop. The google streetview photocar driving around mars.

1:4:9?

Looks like its likely a piece of space junk that got embedded like a knife.

If Mars had more atmosphere, it would have burned up on the way in.

Is that someone’s I-phone, or Blackberry stuck in the sand?

My missing fed-ex package?!

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Do not attempt landings there. Use them together. Use them in peace.

I think that you’re ignoring the fact that the soil is not smooth at the shadow side of the object.

There appears to be some material that was displaced by impact. Kind of a mini-crater around it.

I dedicate this to all out there that live in fear that we are not the center of the universe.

One of my favorites...

Clouds above the rim of "Endurance Crater" in this image from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. These clouds occur in a region of strong vertical shear. The cloud particles (ice in this martian case) fall out, and get dragged along away from the location where they originally condensed, forming characteristic streamers. Opportunity took this picture with its navigation camera during the rover's 269th martian day (Oct. 26, 2004). (NASA/JPL)

Teleprompter in space.........

Another one of my favorites of the Martian surface.

Tens of hundreds of billions of planets, and this one is right next door.

On May 19th, 2005, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view as the Sun sank below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars. This Panoramic Camera mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover's 489th martian day, or sol. Spirit was commanded to stay awake briefly after sending that sol's data to the Mars Odyssey orbiter just before sunset. The image is a false color composite, showing the sky similar to what a human would see, but with the colors slightly exaggerated. NASA/JPL

Someone sunk a toothpick into a grapefruit and took an out-of-focus black and white photograph. I will attempt to reproduce as I currently have nothing better to do than to angrily stand by while Obama destroys my country.

Alot of pic files...

It’s a tombstone. Arch Stanton’s.

That's right Tuco. Now dig!

Here's a close up. In a religious ritual, the native Martians pay tribute by annointing the lower three feet of it daily.

There's a face on it! Upside down...



After adjusting the brightness and contrast....it's either Grace Jones



Or a pic of You know Who....

[Dallas59]

Or maybe Will Smith...
