Here's a picture from the Astronomy Picture of the Day site. It is a reconstructed view of 2km-high cliffs on Mars.

What's funny is that this looks like someone's foam terrain project. It looks like wargaming terrain.

That's because its not real - its foam terrain in a soundstage in LA. Check the shadows.

I think PJP is on to something. If you look closley, you can see a ring left from some nappy gamer's Mountain Dew can. And some of those "boulders", they look suspiciously like Dorito crumbs. Obviously, there was a late night gaming session held right before this hoax was perpatrated.

Can't be gamer terrain. Not enough skullz.

Can't be mars no ancient cities in sight!
I have suspect that those NASA guys are
doctoring the photos so as to keep Dejah Thoris
all to themselves!

Ahh, C'mon! What's wrong with youse guys? This can't be Mars, there's no FACE!

Nope, it's Mars. At least from the last time I was there...

Man, can you imagine trying to assault something on top of that? NOT easy.

skippy0115 Mar 2005 10:17 a.m. PST

It's not finding Faces on Mars that worries me, it's finding feces on Mars....

Looks like Tunisia on a bad day...

".....assault something on top of that? NOT easy"

Actually in my cloud ships and rocket packs it would be a cake walk.

what about these then...

Bob Hume15 Mar 2005 12:01 p.m. PST

Thats obviously the martian ocean with the port facility in the lower right. They have a huge tarp over it so passing hillbilly spacecraft think its a dry planet/county, and don't bother to stop.

Steve O15 Mar 2005 12:36 p.m. PST

must be small, they are a metre across...

No, its Dune.

See the worm tracks ?!

Actually, I think it is the coffee table that someone took the dremel too.

Very nice job of sprinkling and spreading flour on it though, for that snowy, frozen terrain effect.

PJ Parent16 Mar 2005 7:53 a.m. PST

That's not flour, in fact what you are looking at has a street value of over $10K. These are court pictures.
