Dr Malin has done a fine job. His Mars-cam is still the best thing NASA has going at Mars. Hoagland thinks Malin is in on the NASA scam, but I don't agree.

Someone asked Malin about finding evidence of life on Mars, would he keep it secret so as to not alarm the masses. He said that if he found evidence of life on Mars it would be the news of the century and there is no way he would keep it to himself. NASA could not possibly hide such news.
