Saundra, that is interesting. I remember seeing a computer image of what Mars would have looked like when it once had oceans. I have a book by a space artist (David A. Hardy) who does such paintings.

Karen, the photo is of Gusev Crater. It is from the Mars Rover website. It was the winner of a competition for the most popular photo. Or are you a conspiracy theorist?

Ah I see. At first I thought that you were suggesting that I had come across a photo of Earth and thought that it was Mars then I realized you might mean the government had faked it. As for the Spirit Rover it cost something like $400 million dollars and was worked on by hundreds of people of different nationalities. There are photos, videos and eye witnesses of it being built. There are many people involved in transporting it to the launch pad. The launch of the rocket was witnessed by hundreds of people with their own eyes and all around the world on T.V. You can hear it from five miles away. People even track them with telescopes. The rocket will show up on radar/satellites and other countries such as Russia will be aware of it and tracking it. When on the surface of Mars the rover cannot send a signal direct to earth. It has to send a signal to one of two satellites orbiting Mars and those satellites then transmit the signal to earth. It takes ten minutes for the signal to reach earth. There are so many people involved around the world in different capacities. Even with current special effects technology the photos of Mars could not be faked. The Mars Phoenix Lander was photographed by a satellite orbiting Mars as it parachuted towards the surface.

The more you look into it the more you realize it is not something you can fake in this day and age. Nowadays space is an international venture.









Why would anybody want to fake science? There are so many thousands of people around the world involved in these space ventures that to fake it would be as great an undertaking as faking air travel. Then again there are people who do not believe that the holocaust happened (Mel Gibson and/or his father) and people who believe the Earth to be flat. Check out this man. The funniest bit is when his wife is outraged when she visited England (Australia being the opposite side of the world) and people kept asking her 'Are you from "down under"?' She insisted that she had not been hanging upside down from her feet.

"Marjory has always known that the earth is flat, too," says Charles Johnson. "As far as she knew, everybody in Australia knew it. She was rather shocked when she arrived here and found people speaking of Australia as being 'down under.' It really offended her. She would get in quite heated arguments with people who seemed to accuse her of coming from down under the world." Ultimately, Marjory Johnson swore in an affidavit that she had never hung by her feet in Australia.

Sheep, the more educated your opinion the more you are entitled to it.

Sheep, as I have been telling you for over an hour it was captured on CCTV camera.

Other people saw the dog, Sheep.

Fair enough.

You are right, Saundra. I apologise, Sheep. You are entitled to your opinion/beliefs that the world is flat and the dog you saw didn't cross the road.
