New discovery on Mars? What's up?

lol i guess i was exaggerating a bit.  but doesn't it seem like that sometimes?  the rover has been on there long enough to tell us pretty much everything we would want to know about the composition of a huge surface, what types of rocks,  what the bacterial (if any) composition is, water percentages, fossilization (if any), but instead they verify things they already knew about and mentioned 10 years ago. 

it's like.......uh, this is not amazing. this is just you verifying your own data.  let us know when  you find something that you haven't already claimed existed there in the first place. 

the really frustrating part is when it's a repeat of a repeat, as if the first time and second time were not enough.

Exactly my idea Undo. Thats why it was funny how you said it. I never have taken such an anouncement from the "rover department" as interesting. A lot of Old news or just well...

Besides that, a lot of us here know or have our thoughts about the history of Mars (or present)which is beyond the imagination of most of the people. its like the rovers are way behind the reality (our) which makes them less interesting. Of course it would be fun to have some mind blowing things aknowledged by the rovers...

Maybe they found a nasty marsian muscito:)

I would assume that this is just an announcement that they confirmed organic molecules in the soil.

Talk about baby steps......

Wait till December? Gotta give the Disnfo agents time to get briefed so they can get their answers tight....

first this




and now this




SIGH

It seems like they keep going over the same thing as far as trying to find out about Mars.  Either NASA is very stupid...or they are steering the public in one direction while they are looking at something else...this is all a front and they never left lower earth orbit.  Scientists can't even tell us everything about our own earth.  I just don't understand why they keep trying to re-invent the wheel so to speak.  One of the things I have learned is that an expert can be found for anything to prove anything.  I guess all I can hope for is to find out the truth one of these days.  Sorry for the rambling

A NASA coverup? Naaaaah   Photoshopped?  Don't know.  Sure looks suspicious.

Same technique was used by Bing Maps to cover up a Russian portable ICBM launch site...



You can see the clone tool used in several places that I have outlined


Terraserver just uses black redaction



And Google Earth a blur...

It's nice though when you have "boots on the ground"   

Abandoned silos and launchers, still loaded tubes...  the area has a secret airfield that is now operated by CIA

[Pimander]

A CIA base in Russia?  WTF!


I like the video about the composite of the curiosity landing site.  It reminds me of the craters on the moon that looked computer generated (many were identical in the same image).

A NASA coverup?

I don't think so.

Photoshopped?

Most likely.

Sure looks suspicious.

Maybe, but that area is the only one for which there isn't high resolution coverage, so someone thought it was a good idea to clone some ground from another place to cover it up instead of using a lower resolution version.

[spacemaverick]

Nothing can replace have someone right there.  Too bad we don't have somebody on the moon or Mars.

Or, just maybe there is "stuff" on the surface that they believe the public is not ready to see yet. Or if the public were to see what is actually there, then sometimes "disclosure just happens"!

I doubt it, that's a small area in a place that doesn't look any different from the surrounding area.

The last guys that went to the Moon didn't give us much
