Probing Mars Surface
"G=EMC^2 Glazier" wrote in message ... Fine sand is like water,and earth's deserts can be dangerous because of that. An area of Mars with large boulders is not a good landing spot The poles could be tricky because the frozen CO2 might be very crumbly.and possibly give off a low level fog. I would like if a lander came down to show the Mars face,not that I believe it was made by life forms. I have a picture of the face that looks like it has a faint rectangular wall all around it. Nature does not make rectangular large structures,and that is my reason for finding it interesting. Bert Bert...funny you bring this up. I was just reading about it this weekend. I googled up 'Hubble' and went to the official site. On that site they have a picture of the Mars face as Viking (I think it was Viking?) saw it, as a face. Modern tech, shows us that the face was really just the result of low quality imaging and shadows. A more accurate photo shows nothing of interest. I wish I had the URL handy to share, but I am at work now and don't have it. I am sure you can find it using google. BV. |

Try http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/...003_40perc.gif and http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/mgs_cydonia.html Not to mention that NASA have only two pages on the first one hundred google hits. Sad really. Dave "Hopes Lan Fleming is not listening, Hi Lan!" Barlow |

RM Interesting you claim nature creates rectangular shaped large
objects I can''t think orf one (help me) Bert |

They look like square buildings. Oh, and a few weeks back someone posted that weird picture of the rectangular nebulae!!! And I must admit, I have met some complete squares in my life. BV. |

Check the Mesas in the American southwest for shape. Many are of a
rectangular shape. Dave Nagel G=EMC^2 Glazier wrote: RM Interesting you claim nature creates rectangular shaped large objects I can''t think orf one (help me) Bert |

Hi David G I have seen Arizona's Monument Valley. You do bring out a
good point,but a far cry the way nature makes almost perfect spheres. Still I will except what you say as a very good reference since we are talking about the rectangular plateau the face is mounted on. Bert |

Nature uses explosions to save time. Why can't we set of explosions on
Mars surface,and see what is down say 35ft .Not H-Bomb but chemical explosions. It would be cheaper and faster than much more effective than drilling through a surface of fine sand(sand would pour into the hole continually as the drill bit went down Bert |
