pmwww | | Re: Life on Mars? (27th Jan 08 at 3:51pm UTC) | | I just think someone photoshop that on there lol. One thing that makes me think it's fake is that rover cameras take HUGE pictures, with AMAZING quality. If you've ever downloaded one of the actual rover images, you'll see that they're hundreds of megabytes, sometimes gigabytes in size. The picture would not be blurred upon zooming in if this was real.  I read somewhere that the picture they discovered it on was one of those photos - hundreads of Megs, but they can't really put that up online anywhere as people trying to download it would bust their bandwidth 
NASA? Bandwidth? Funny one. They have the largest image on the internet on their site available for download; it's like 3GB in size.
But yes, I suppose they would have compressed it to make it more user-friendly. | |

pmaim | | Re: Life on Mars? (31st Jan 08 at 12:40am UTC) | | It looks like it could be a life form, though it could also just be a shadow or a rock, so I don't know.
I'm open to the possibility for life forms around our solar system, but I feel that if this were actually believed to be a life form, it would have made bigger news. | |

I agree; sounds to me as something NASA's PR team made available just to get people talking, and get more money donated to the space programs. | |

Guest | | Re: Life on Mars? (6th Feb 08 at 11:32pm UTC) | | I think it's just some guy sitting on a rock. But I'd be willing to go to Mars. What if they had life on mars? Like you can go inside the Planet like Earth? Because we have skies. And on Mars they had whatever Earth had in real life. That'd be so Awesome!  | |
