That's certainly a good one, as though looking kind of "old railway
sleeper" artificial. (? apparently Mars once had trees to make rail
ties?)

Seems they ran directly over the top of it, so it's not such a large
rail sleeper/tie as you'd think.

However, small Mars folks shouldn't have needed much bigger than
quarter-scale.

btw, is it polite enough policy to ask, how old are the frames within
this composite image?

Wow, that's almost as weird as Pac-Man in a
triangle on planet Selene!...

Possibly even related. Go figure why not.

Makes this composite image of the Mars plank of dimensional cut wood
rather old.

You know GuthBall, in the Old West they used to have railroad tie tossing
contests, to alleviate the boredom and to get rid of the excess alcohol in
their veins. Perhaps one of the guys got a little rambunctious and the tie
never came back down.
And now we know where it landed ....

Why not, might as well be considered as to why it took our DARPA and
NASA wizards of JPL so long to fork over this nifty old image.

Makes this plank of Mars wood from a fairly old archived image kind of
weird. Wonder why it was intentionally withheld for so many years.
Apparently the faith-based rusemasters that are about to lose their
jobs, are starting to uncontrollably sweat.

Keeping our public media focus on Mars instead of Venus or that of
Selene is clearly their priority number one.

There’s an old railway sleeper found on Mars?

The above image is what makes this nifty plank or dimensional board
of petrified Mars wood, as rather clearly depicted from a fairly old
archived image, seem kind of out of this world weird. Wonder why it
was intentionally withheld by JPL, and otherwise having been
intentionally excluded for so many years, as perhaps similar to the
weird indications of Mars having an underground access plate, hatch or
grave marker.

Apparently the faith-based rusemasters that are about to lose a few of
their public funded jobs w/benefits are starting to uncontrollably
sweat. Perhaps keeping our public media focus on a very passive/
insert Mars instead of any highly active Venus or even Selene is
clearly their priority number one.

All we need is a viable multi-tonne payload capable fly-by-rocket
lander with a robust return-home capability, a pair of robust nuclear
reactors, a few tonnes of other essentials, a 4 years supply of beer,
pizza and toilet paper to go along with the trillion plus cost of a
Mars expedition, and perhaps a decade from now we'd get there.

Too bad there's so little of any value on Mars that we here on Earth
could use, although that Mars plank of wood could bring 100+ millions
at auction.

That's certainly a perfectly good one for Mars, as though looking kind
of "old railway sleeper" artificial. (? apparently Mars once had
trees to make rail ties?)

Seems they ran directly over the top of it, so it's not such a large

Where's our mainstream public media coverage?

How about Nature and Astronomy publications running this one?

What are those news media and infomercial providers afraid of?

Simply amazing. Still zero media coverage, means that it must be
another one of those bogus images created by JPL, NASA and DARPA.

I wonder how much of our mainstream news is actually republican Mafia
cabal controlled nowadays?

Why don't those of our mostly Jewish owned media want to share and
share alike?

Good grief, folks, it seems the mainstream media NO FLY list of news
worthy topics is greater than any DHS no-fly list.
