NASA Knows How Mars Got a Jelly Doughnut
The Associated Press reports that the mysterious "jelly doughnut" shaped rock spotted by the Opportunity rover on Mars wasn't put there by aliens or by mysterious forces of Mars weather. Instead, the NASA has a simple explanation: one of the rover's larger wheels "broke it off a larger rock and then kicked it into the field of view." Of course, they would say that just to head off a lawsuit demanding an investigation into the real reasons.
Donuts without cops? No way!
So you have any other protips on how we can politicize a rock on Mars?
I'm offended by your overgeneralization. Sometimes different people believe the same thing.

...no one observes that the Jelly Doughnut rock on mars was where the complaints about Beta might have been thrown?
You never know...
people subject to views outside of logic, may switch between them at random. Also very few if any religions explicitly say anything against life on other plannets, if christianity is what we are talking about, it says nothing to oppose life on other plannets, it simply never mentions the concept at all. Just as it never mentions kangaroos, koala bears or the american continent. If a spacecraft were to land on earth, the only thing christians would see different is in spite of us being clearly technologically inferior to them, christians would still hold to the idea that humans are made in the image of god, and thus the aliens must have been created by god to serve us in some way.
I think that's an extraordinary claim. Are there any photos showing this rock in the path of the rover before it clipped it? The unusual composition of this rock bears investigating, and suggests some other origin (like a meteor impact). Why is the composition inconsistent with other rocks? Because it's not from there.
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
NASA are saying it is not a man-made object or the result of natural phenomena, but rather that it was put there by a probe from another planet!
dun dun dun
The NSA has been tracking everyone's data, and especially things going on in foreign sand-filled landscapes.
What's that, the title was NASA knows, not NSA knows?

I tried a "jelly" doughnut when I was in America. Nowhere near as nice as jam ones in the UK. :-)

They will never relinquish their paranoias, regardless of logic or evidence. It's in their nature.
I'd like to see the judge order an investigation as well. Having the judge order a manned mission to investigate the rock would be excellent.
