ITS A FREAKIN' ROCK
FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!!
I sent George an email, but haven't heard anything back.
George.
I don't see it, and here's why.
I have looked at many hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pictures from out there. I admit very much that you do see some very odd things.
But none of the things are absolutely irrefutable. People can say you will see such and such, but if you look at it this way, or etc, or yada yada.
Now if we took 100 sewing machines and dumped them on Mars 100000 years ago, we would have a binomial distribution of how good they are. Many now would be totally unrecognizable, reduced almost to dust. But some, if even a few, would be in almost pristine condition.
Now I have worked in a mine. I have used high explosives. And I can tell you that you see a whole lot of different forms and colors.
If we found a head and the arm was right next to it, that would pretty much convince me. But we always say "Oh, here's a piston" or "Oh, here's something else"
If we dumped any type of machine there we would see all the parts. Some broken off. Some still attached. But we would find multiple instances in the same place.
There's a few other objections. But even without them, I remain skeptical.
