I think it was decided a long time ago it was high oxide iron red.

Looks like a blowup of a micrograph of 120 grit sandpaper.

If there ever was anything on Mars it would be hundreds of feet under the top soil.

Not if it was a dog like mine. She has a way of dropping them front and center right behind a tuft of grass or several leaves.

"Looks like some parts of Nevada...amazingly so...suspiciously so....

So rocks and sand are suspicious because they remind you of Nevada? What do you think Mars' surface is covered with, cheese?

And if they do discover life, no doubt PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Amoeba will be imagining that bacteria is fully vested with human rights.

I think it's all fake...

Did you see the James Bond movie "Diamonds are Forever?"

"Capricorn One?"

BTW, cheese covers the surface of the Moon, not Mars.

Clearly this is a hoax. I can't believe that they're actually trying to pass off a microscopic image of a Salsa Flavored Dorito chip as the planet Mars.

NASA announced today that photos from Mars confirmed that life once existed there. The now barren planet was once controlled by a race of democrats....the stark, lifeless planet is now a testament to 2000 years of democrat rule.
