I do not think we need to drift off from space topics. NASA is a conspiracy lovers dream come true. They can generate more doubt and reason to wonder why than any other government agency except for congress but that’s another forum now.

Example, Take a look at this false color image.

Now keep in mind the money time and effort it took to get to Mars. Keep in mind that the main reason for going there was discovery. Keep in mind everyone is watching. Their motto is follow the water.

That image above was as close as they got. You would think they might go over and take a look. I believe that if anyone was suited up on the Mars surface with me we would go over and take a look. There is no way to pass up such a juicy target, it is just a few feet away, NOT NASA.

They passed a closer look up to go look at another rock. This goes against human nature and logic. I can understand why people might thing NASA was being less than totally honest.
