LOL cute!

The important question is, "What did Pink Floyd know and when did they know it?"

They gave me a poster of the face and pyramids on Mars with my 'Dark Side of the Moon' LP all those years ago. I feel so betrayed.

I never, ever continued speaking to anyone who thought the original pic showed an actual face sculpture. That's because they're nutjobs unworthy of further conversation.

Yeah, and all those Salem witches would have survived their drownings if they were not evil. Wow, you guys sure are sophisticated thinkers (morons). You sound like stuck up idiots. Imagine, some people having the balls to not think exactly like you do. You are a gift to humanity. I bet since it is not in the bible, that it can't be true.

Maybe I should have mentioned that you’re cowards who can’t face the fact that your little fantasies aren’t panning out so you make up another fantasy conspiracy to convince yourself that you’re still right despite the evcidence staring you in the face.

I don’t believe in the face on Mars. I just can’t stand people like you who think they know everything. Guess what? You don’t know squat.

I just can’t stand people like you who think they know everything.

You mean like people who assume my failure to buy the fantasy has some kind of biblical basis? LOL

Gosh, I'm just *flabbergasted* that a 33-pixel image from the 1970s didn't establish beyond doubt that there was formerly a civilization on Mars. ;')

Grow up, jackass.

It’s a footprint.

The Face on Mars Trail Map
by Jim Garvin
Chief Scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program

Hike length is approximately 5.5 km or 3.6 miles one way, with a total elevation gain of nearly a thousand feet. Rating.... easy at start and midsection, with some very steep sections. Take plenty of water and oxygen.

NOTES: Starting to the SOUTH, away from the Face (hereafter FOM), the hike begins with a walk to the scree slopes at the south base of the feature, and then moves to the right (east) around the base of the FOM, and then to the NNW up to a breach in the feature about midway through the eastern middle. At this point there is a passage up the east flank of the feature, and the hike takes this route, passing between the two ridge-like prominences that outlie the eastern "battlements" of the FOM... then the hike traverses a smoother patch before it turns and skirts the summit region before finding a circuitous path to the upper reaches of the FOM (where there is a flat, bright circular patch about 100 m in diameter).

A new image just released by NASA confirms what the space agency has said all along: That's no face on Mars. It's just a rocky mesa.

Straight lines, Bezier curves on a two mile scale, equilateral triangles, five-sided pyramids and the like simply do not occur in nature. NASA has gone brain dead. Anybody interested in going to Mars should be studying Hindi or Japanese.
