Not exactly how
I'd classify this thread.

I would like to invite a reexamination of the ESA photos of Crater Hale with the intent to rationally determine whether or not the photos are a hoax.

What hoax are you talking about? The issue being discussed in the "Major Tom" thread was the misinterpretation (and in some cases, additional manipulation) of ESA supplied images.

Loaded into an editing viewer and stripped of chroma, that is to say converted to a greyscale image,

So, you manipulate the image . . .

the enlarged area evidences buildings in ruin, streets, multi-story structures and outlying areas that have all the hallmarks of a municipality, small town or perhaps a purpose-community such as a military installation.

And, this is where the discussion breaks down unless you can show, specifically, what you're talking about, and how you got there from the ESA images. Just saying "there's some blocky stuff when I throw it in photoshop" isn't going to do it.

Also, if you go to photobucket and search on Crater Hale, there are some twenty photos and other postings that have the relevant information already processed. For me, this was an easier route as all the work had been done, and after seeing the results and what they were getting at, I was able to resolve the same imaging myself using the original ESA downloads.

So, you AREN'T basing this on ESA images, but on somebody else's manipulated images?
By the way, are you familiar with the term,
"pareidolia"?
