here is finally the proof that aliens don't need to orbit the earth to realise that there's other intelligent life somewhere else in the universe.

The pics are great, but your logic appears a bit flawed. The vehicle that took this picture is orbiting Mars, no? Why would that preclude orbiting Earth?

You would imagine that aliens will come from the outer solar system. So they will check out Mars before the Earth.
