Maybe in the next picture it'll be mooning.:hmm:

He's on Mars. Shouldn't he be marsing?

Amazing how the eye can see what it wants to see. That does look like a humanoid biped out for a nice stroll on Mars, enjoying the 0.01 Earth atmospheric pressure, the 98% CO2 air, the subfreezing cold, and of course, being merely four inches tall since the picture was taken only a few feet from the rover. The sad thing is all the science the rover has been doing for years gets ignored, but tricks of light get headlines.

Heh, wouldn't it be funny if it WAS real?:rotfl:

I could finally have someone repair my computer without any difficulty. Just pop off the side, equip him with several brushes and tools, and he's set (although we might have to buy one of those Tonka tool sets... if the guy is just 4-inches big... I mean... come on! Give him a break!

Hey, it's Harry from Harry and the Hendersons. ;) Remember him.:88)

The thing is that none of these people take into account is that when you watch the actual video of the flyby of the supposed face, that as you pass over it, you see that it's really just a mountain range that goes in a straight line and doesn't even RESEMBLE a face.

The UFO crazy people will probably (Oh what the hell.. definitely) latch onto this photo too. Their theories are permanently safe and self perpetuating because nomatter what evidence you bring up to discount their claims and theories, they will always counter that your "evidence" is part of the "Cover Up".:nope:

Yeah arguing with hardcore concpiracy theorists is the same as arguing with creationists, futile but for some strange reason incredibly addictive.

All these IF'S/Buts/Whats and Imagines..you guys trying to tell me its not real!!!!:o
this is like when i was a kid and my mate told me santa wasn't real. I was gutted :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Blacklight 01-30-08 03:57 PM

Hehe. It turns out that our little green man is a tiny rock about two inches tall that's about 15 feet away from the rover. :rotfl:
Seth Shostak, the director of The SETI Institute does a weekly podcast and they talk about it.

What a great idea about him/her/it cleaning the computer and all.:rotfl:
For me I would have him give me a hand building my model propulsion plant and stationary steam plant for the bench. Hopefully he would have a little welder, and some safety equipment. Then when it's all done I can have him operate the propulsion plant on a 1/96 scale battleship that I want to buy. I will even have a friend knit some dungaree's and a white hat and give him one lucky strike cigarette (for a thing only four inches tall that should last him a month or two of smoking) What do you think we should pay it? Or is food, booze, cigarettes and dirty magazines payment enough?

On a serious note any one think that there might be life out there, billions of galaxies the universe never stops expanding and we are the only ones in this universe web:hmm:

I'm extremely sure that there's life out there. Look at how huge the universe is. For instance:

http://www.godandscience.org/images/hubbledeepfield.jpg

Look at how many galaxies there are just in that photo. That doesn't even cover a 64th of the amazing universe which we thrive in. Some of these galaxies are huge compared to our own. We don't even know how many there are in OUR galaxy. Tens of hundreds of thousands of planets could exist in just one of these galaxies alone. Look how many there are. Just imagine how many different forms of life are out there. For all we know, one of those galaxies might contain a planet that's looking back at us through a telescope.

Hehheh. Pictures like that are why I laugh whenever that Rocky Mozel character with his International Star Registry starts advertising naming stars for loved ones as a holiday or Valentine's Day gift on the radio. You'll need an expensive trip to the observatory and a time exposure to see your thoughtful gift as it looked light years ago...assuming it's even still there.

Plus...it's really not yours since the International Star Registry star naming is not recognized by the scientific community. So, your star’s name is reserved in International Star Registry records only.

Seems a bit pointless then, doesn't it? Registering a Star Name that is recognized by no one - except the ISR.

That's a famous picture. EVERY speck of light in that picture is a galaxy.

I fully agree with you. That's why I've been a participant in SETI@Home for years. When I'm not on my computer, my computer is running calculations and examining radio telescope data for them.
I think there's definitely life out there and quite a bit of it. However, I think that life that's intelligent like humans are is going to be a rare thing... but you never know. I hope SETI finds something in my lifetime. That would be the most important discovery in history ! They're still looking for radio signals and now they've recently started using optics to look for lazer flashes because high powered lazers can also be used for communication.

I read books about the universe, cosmology, and physics all the time for fun. The Universe is a LOT stranger place than what we take for granted. Everywhere I look now, it never ceases to boggle my mind.:doh:

I think the coolest space project that has my interest now is the group of probes they're going to send up that's going to be able to pick up the vibrations from The Big Bang (Yes.. it was so powerful that the universe is still vibrating from it...think of it like aftershocks after an earthquake on the Earth). With this data, they're going to be able to determine just how powerful "The Big Bang" actually was. How cool is that ?

How strange!

It may not be sound evidence, but it looks like it will be at least a little tricky to explain.
Most likely a trick of light and rock. Us humans see faces and bodies everywhere.


*edit* oh lordy I just linked to the DM.

That was on the TV news weeks ago, Daily Mail must of had a slow news day. :roll:

Yeh, of course there's other life than us out there. But what have bugged me more than that is what is beyond space? It has to end somewhere, even if it expanding all the time, it still ends somewhere. (Yes, I'm pretty sure it's not milk that's beyond it :88))

Just watch Star Trek and you'll learn all about the alien life out there :lol:
