I was just thinking that!

Go ahead, touch it. 

But only after we invent AI computers with rogue tendencies.

Perhaps someone at BW is gifted with prophetic abilities? Not so long ago I heard one of the leading mars experts say that we may be able to get to mars within 50 years or so

If one has prophetic abilities then they could have been able to stop this whole ending fiasco.

I think the Bioware writers are also fans of Coast to Coast AM.    George Noory and Richard C. Hogeland would be all over the Mass Effect take on ancient civilizations.

There have been many such claims of structures on Mars, which, thus far, when investigated and probed with better resolution images or from other angles are revealed to be natural features, or to have been artefacts of the photography method itself, so I'm not holding my breath.

It'd be the most awesome news EVER, if an actual alien artifact was found on Mars (or anywhere else), but as a skeptic, I value truth over what I'd like to be true, and try not to let my exitement over an idea overestimate evidence for that idea.

We humans are excellent at pareidolia, where we see familiar patterns in random visual or auditory stimulus, whether it be Jesus in our toast, or the "face" on mars. When something looks, in a photograph, like something rather unlikely and unexpected, like a purposefully built structure on the surface of another planet, you REALLY need to have more than just one or two photographs of indeterminate quality; you need a closer examination.

Until you have that closer examination, our eagerness to see such a thing coupled with our very human psycholgical features and failings, is a much more likely explanation for a photographic oddity than that oddity being an actual extraterrestrial structure.

But of course I'd love nothing better than to actually read about a real, confirmed discovery of something built by an extraterrestrial intelligence; just the discovery of bacteria level life on Mars would make my year. Discovery of an alien artefact would be mind-blowingly awesome.

IKR? It could link to Object Rho or something

oh, that is interesting. Although, the article poo-pooed the idea that it was anything other than a mundane, natural feature.

Yet, this keeps happening. Mars seems to have alot of very strange mundane natural features.

The research tech said something about it only looks rectangular because of the low resolution of the image. Pixels and stuff make it look more sharp edged.

But I mean, if it was some extremely ancient...thing..I would imagine it'd be pretty worn down by now anyway.

They said it was prolly a boulder that broke off and fell to that spot. But, it's very rectangular-y for a boulder. And it landed perfectly straight up. Yeah, it could happen, but--hmmm.

I do hope we get to Mars soon. I hope we master some new energy source that can speed up the journey significantly.

That would be an amazing moment.

You've heard of the so-called "Face on Cydonia"?

Yeah, it only looked like a face because of the image resolution. When we got a much sharper picture of it, it turned out to be a completely unremarkable big lump of rock. This is the same situation.

Personally I rank the options this way from most likely to less likely.

1. Natural formation.
2. Nasa ( or others ) have been littering.
3. The voice order thing from a mcdonalds drive-in.
4. Aliens...





Don't need a new power source to go to mars.

Will plus monays... and maybe a nuclear thermal rocket will get you there just fine.

You guys want to see something strange? George Bush Sr. & NASA had this poster made as part of their space initiative in... 1990 I believe. Puzzling, to say the least.
