CNN) -- At the beginning of 2001, with Mars Express (MEx) and Beagle 2 progressing well towards what everyone thought would be an epic journey to Mars, the European Space Agency (ESA) called together a group of 10 Experts in Space Exploration.

The overwhelming reason anybody should want to go to Mars is to get a closer look at and possibly inside those megaliths:
Those things are a mile to about two and a half or three miles in length so that they're definitely not snowflakes and anybody who still wants to claim they're natural formations is in serious need of an eye doctor.
And what makes you think they are anything but natural?
IF you want to find intelligent life on Mars, send man there.
Ditto....
[...anybody who still wants to claim they're natural formations is in serious need of an eye doctor]
They certainly look like natural formations to me, and I don't need an eye doctor.
If they're not natural, then what are they and who made them?
You just contradicted yourself.
The one which looks like a five sided pyramid is a five sided pyramid.
The one which looks like a four-sided pyramid is a four-sided pyramid.
The one which looks like a humanoid face in some sort of a headdress or helmet is a humanoid face in some sort of a headdress or helmet.
Who made them? The people hwo used to live there before the place got wiped out made them. What's complicated about any of that?
Get rid of the UN and establish property rights in space now!!
Main difference is, you could put sa dozen or more of the egyptian pyramids inside that D&M pyramid at Cydonia. Those two long sides are a mile and a half on an edge.
Ah, it's refreshing to see that the DU hasn't cornered the market on nut job conspiracy theories...
Sorry dude, but I don't see anything in your post but pictures of mountains.
They're as natural as Mount Everest, IMHO.
I think microbial life has (and may still) exist on Mars, but that's about the extent of it.
If we want life on Mars we need to colonize it (that I support and think will happen).
That said, Mars is a fascinating planet and I'd love to see a manned mission.
Me either. Looks like hills and mountains to me.
I'd love to see these complexes explored - natural or not. Problem is, nobody has several hundred billion in spare change lying around to go check it out. And the national will? Hate to say it - but it ain't there. All the planetary exploration/exploitation concepts we studied and designed in Astronautical Engineering classes - just sit on shelves, gathering dust.
