“If this is rock, we are rocks.”—a biology Ph.D. in Mars Forum

I was moved by the courage of a biology Ph. D expressed in above words
in the Mars Forum (Ref. 1) and decided to label the following
photomicrograph taken by Phoenix Mars Lander. For detailed reasons
why those in Fig. 1 were Martian fossils, see Ref. 2. NASA just used
an organic-free blank to test if there really was organics in Mars soil
—at the expense of one TEGA oven. The result shows that there were at
least five organics on the organic-free blank (Fig. 2).

NASA has plans to send more rovers to Mars to look for past life
there. So it could not possibly admit there were fossils or human life
on Mars. NASA is wasting your money, period.

Fig. 1: labeled for five Haversian canals, seven blood vessel remains
(three coiled and four in the Haversian canals) and two cell remains
(one dendritic cell of 10 microns across).

You've finally said something I agree with. With the US economy in a slump
and people losing mass jobs, it doesn't make sense to keep wasting taxpayer
dollars on these probes, the space telescope, nor anything else space
related in the 6 figure range. Now I realize I'll probably have
repercussions for these statements, so I don't want to leave out Iraq or any
other area where there's huge government spending and waste. Way past time
to stop spending and make the US the good country it once was.

Given the dry, windy conditions on Mars one might well expect an
incredible static charge on everything. The missing fluid and strange
shapes could simply be the result of static charge attraction between
selective materials constantly on the move. Imagine a bar magnet
moving under a paper full of iron filings for a similar, but simpler,
striking visual effect. Mars may prove to be the ultimate vinyl LP,
or electrically charged balloon, writ rather large. ;-)
