Martians!!!!

That's the claim, Mr. Iowanian. I've seen photos with the rovers' "color registration card" visible in which the colors are all screwed up. It doesn't make a lot of sense. A lot of scientists say that the Martian sky isn't really red all the time. Nor are the rocks.

Here are some photos of the tube. I wonder what the little naked martians use them for?

I don't buy "the govt conspiracy" hokus pokus.

There are legitimate, scientific reasons why different types of imagery are collected, and there are many types, even here within the confines of our own Earth.

False IR, Near IR, Color IR(infra red) are some.

Near IR for example is used because the band it returns is useful for things like distinguishing different types of vegetation. Deciduous trees reflect as brown, while coniferous trees are very red. You can see the difference between corn field and bean field stubble, or dead grass from conservation strips vs sprouting alfalfa or mowed yards.

Also, when these bands are processed, with programs like IDRISI and others, depending on the uses, color schemes and even ranges of color are assigned for different returns on the spectrum, to highlight different things.

My point is.....possibly something is being done that makes the sky look pink or the rocks look red(or maybe they just are red tint)....because it distinguishes potential drainage patterns, geologic formations etc.

That's certainly feasible. However, the government conspiracy angle generally enters the equation shortly after NASA issues a denial that the photos are color corrected in any way.

This was a bigger deal in the early '00s, and is an ongoing tinfoil hat concern for virtually all publicly-released images.

That's not to say that skepticism is wrong, especially in this day and age: anybody with a passing knowledge of photoshop or any other image editing software can do virtually anything they want to an image. And experts can do mind-blowing things.

That's what the NASA mind control experts say, Mr. Iowanian. Personally, I don't understand why they wouldn't want to photograph the surface in the normal visual spectrum. I mean, they can do both.

After contemplating this new evidence, I submit that we send Carrie Anne Moss to the Red Planet immediately, preferably in a white T-shirt with no bra.

Only if there's some kind of disaster causing her to be showered with liquid water.

You obviously didn't see the movie. Not ONLY was there a shower scene, there's another scene where her nipples are so erect they look like Cydonia.

I've seen it, I'm just repressing the memory.

Here are some Mars trees and stuff.

It looks like the 'real' killer. OJ should get on a white rocket ship and head to mars.

Someone better warn him or her. Another part of the article talks about an asteriod is on course to hit Mars. He/She might not be aware of the danger.

Someone needs to tell ms. moss that the turkey is done.

The cover up continues. The bastards.

On the other hand, maybe it's a set up. Maybe NASA is training these little dudes to attack the Chinese when they arrive!
