So...Mars

Am I the only one tired of the Mars pix? I mean, yes, I'm glad to see we got the Spirit Rover there, but I wasn't amazed at that, since we've gotten probes there before. And I'm glad we're getting pictures from Mars, but I'm not all that impressed, because it just shows that what is there is exactly what we thought was there, rocks and red dirt. If they find something cool, then I'm all for pictures of it, and then I'll be interested, but in the meantime, I'm not impressed by red dirt and rocks.

Now, why not drive that bitch over to the Cydonia Region, and check out the pyramids and the 'face'? Perhaps get a closer look at the D&M Pyramid? People have been curious about them since we first saw pix of Mars in the mid-70's, but, oddly, NASA has always had problems when it came to checking them out, or just flat out refused to...with little explanation. Now, I'm all for research, and I know quite well that those boring shots of red dirt and rocks are telling scientists more than we know...I'm not an idiot. Just saying it seems a little convenient that, for all the things that we initially saw on Mars, we sure never see anything now that we get there...and we refuse to go look for anything in the place where we saw it.

I'm not saying there's anything there...I'm saying we won't know if we don't look. And what's the point of going, if not to learn something?
