Hi, Mark;

 RS> like Richard Hoagland, now that he's been PROVEN to be simply
 RS> full of it.
 ML> you still can't really say that... we already know that there are
 ML> extremely  high winds and sandstorms on mars... what's to say that that
 ML> area hasn't  undergone some extremely damaging weather since viking was
 ML> there? 
 
TRUE!  In fact, a wide-angle picture taken at the same time showed not
only wind and blowing sand, but clouds over the area of the "face!"  IOW,
we STILL do NOT have a good picture of it!  So the "proof" STILL has not
been obtained!  (Shaddup, Ross!)   |-/
 
 ML> there will be no _proof_ until we actually land a man on mars and
 ML> detailed  inspection of the area is made...
 
RIGHT!!!  Hopefully later pictures of the area will clear up the question.
 
On the other paw, couldn't that big "splorch" over the "face's" left eye
have been caused by a meteor impact at some time after it was built,
(assuming for a moment that it was built by someone/thing besides natural
planetary dynamics)?  But like I said above, there WERE clouds and blowing
sand in the area, and the picture WAS taken from a couple of hundred miles
up... Besides, _IF_ the face was made by intelligent life, how many aeons
has the wind and blowing sand, (and acid rain from previous occupants
maybe ), had to erode it?  Just look at how badly the Sphynx has eroded
over the aeons since IT was carved from blowing sand and rain!    :-/
 
Catch oyu later... Keep l00king up!
