Are you insisting you don't believe that the new observations are factual??? Or you just have a hard time letting go of familiar traditional constructions on comet reality??? Neither, my friend, I'm merely an observer of the shifting tides. Regarding Hoagland and MArs, I'm fascinated by the 'tubes' and the apparent forest structures in the NASA photos. The forests may actually be crystalline structures that are season dependent, but those numerous tubular structures are a horse of a different color. If civilization last another thirty years, the answers regarding Mars have the potential to shatter historic perspectives and rattle religious dogmas. Advanced life on Mars may have been wiped out by a cataclysm we have yet to even discover the source of. I personally believe life in primitive state is common wherever the just right conditions arise in the universe, but the evolution of life to more complexity is not so successfully achieved. But that's grist for another discussion.
