Temperature changes probably cracked the rock, but certainly nothing ‘decided’ to crack it as might happen here on earth.
Of course, a liberal might believe it’s just a rock bending over away from him.

Don’t give the libs any new ideas. They want everything else to bend over before them.

Looks like 29 palms, without the charm.
Would make a great artillery training range.

I know that you are making a joke a la The Godfather II but just for the record, Bugsy Siegel started the Las Vegas strip. ;-)

Two of them, they repeat. Always upper left of each image. I think its dust on the lens. They always float above and slightly to the right of a cartoon footprint (chubby exclamation point?) near the foot of the hill, probably a dust nugget too.

Looks it Landed in a dry wash. Good place for exploring, but they need to get it moved out before the next rain! :)

I remember that episode--Three Mars-bound US spacemen survive a crash, and crawl unsuccessfully to find sustenance.
My Dad, a pilot, spotted contrails in the "Martian" sky, and made the first "spoiler-alert" of my young life!

What got me was this scene - I though the guy was drawing the French Cross of Lorraine - and the ending caught me by surprise.
