Artifacts by Little Green Men?
dsoltesz writes "ASU Mars Odyssey Themis team has released a nice 19m resolution visible-band image of the Cydonia region -- including the infamous Face On Mars, the Pyramid Formation, and the City that many outside of NASA have speculated were built by an intelligent people (presumably Martians or maybe space-faring ancient Egyptians). The ASU Themis team states that finding familar shapes in landforms is a fun diversion, but not a sign that such landforms may be artificial in nature. To get alternate views on the origins of these "structures", check out Jason Martell's Research Network and the Cydonia Mars Pyramids and Sphinx Cherubim and the Stones of Fire pages."
Forget Martians, It's the Cingular wireless logo. This could mean that the Marketing people of Madison Ave are from Mars!!! This would really explain a lot.
Sorry about the writing. Robot fingers, you know? Cliff Steele in DOOM PATROL #23
NASA intentionally smashed the "missing" Mars Polar Lander into the face so that it would no longer resemble the face as it appeared in the 1970's Viking Orbiter photos, but just a "regular mountain".
You can even see cracks on it on the first post-Viking orbiter photo that seem to erode away in later photos, probably due to wind, in subsiquent photos. This implies that the cracks were fresh.
(Well, at least that is one interpretation of the photo history.)

including the infamous Face On Mars
Face, surely that should be faces!
I'm no visionary, but I can see about half a dozen easily in that photo; just like when I peer at clouds or artex, and thats sober.
When I'm stonked (read S#!+ F@(£d), I can see countless faces in everything from ice cream to donkey dung.
