Wow! Now that's neat!

Side notes, no more blueberries at the new crater site. Should be interesting! :look:

Termite hill? Steam Vent? Hole in rock?

All from
http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/o ... n2693.html

There are some other interesting items in this set, can't wait for this thing to get downhill and into it!

Cool thread. Sometimes it really hits me just how amazing it is that we have a little go-cart with a camera on it rolling around on another world.

It's why I can never really hate NASA, no matter how much they may have lied...

Thanks Cornbread!

I am waiting still for some SOL's from the past few weeks to show up on some of the cameras, I wouldn't put it past them! Check out the images from this SOL, I hope we are getting close to a big discovery here in this crater.

Those images ain't real. They are generated by software such as mighty Hyperterrains or lightwave 3D. There are no carts on Mars nor have ever been.

NASA Uses LightWave 3D

February 2, 2004

NewTek Inc. announced that LightWave 3D was used to visualize the journey and landing of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), Spirit and Opportunity, in animations created by digital artist Daniel Maas, of Maas Digital, LLC., under the guidance of Principal Investigator Prof. Steve Squyres at Cornell University. LightWave is also being used by Zareh Gorjian, a member of technical staff at JPL, to create new images and animations to illustrate the current status of the vehicles on the surface of Mars, including a 3D anaglyph, by combining Maas' 3D model of a Rover with actual data received from Spirit. Dr. Eric M. De Jong at Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) is overseeing that work.

This is a quote a nasa scientist said: "We have not lied about one thing, we've lied about everything!"

And I can prove it that they are lying! In novermber 1964 Nasa launched the first flybys to mars...
You can read it on their site: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/ ... -past.html
For more than 45 years they have missions to mars with satellites and rovers! A few years ago you see these video's appear on youtube with ice on mars where the one of the mars rovers has digged, before nasa anounced it! A few weeks later nasa anounced they have found ice on mars!!! And suddenly mars appears with entire polar caps on google earth!!!

HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU MISS ENTIRE POLARCAPS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS!

In the early 80's they where bragging that they could read the brand of a pack of russian sigarettes that was laying on the ground, with their satellites!

We the people have the right to know what is up there! What has happened in the past and what is going to happen in the future!

WE ARE ONE!
