Is there life on Mars? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

[quote]Perched on a rock, she could be waiting for a bus.

But if so, she could be in for an awfully long wait.

This photo of what looks remarkably like a female figure with her arm outstretched, was taken on Mars.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it has set the Internet abuzz with claims that there really is life on the red planet.

Others may well feel that it is simply an optical illusion caused by a landscape.

The image was among many sent back to Earth by Spirit, Nasa's Mars explorer vehicle which landed there four years ago.

Initial inspections revealed nothing unusual, but closer examination by amateur astronomers has thrown up this intriguing picture.

As one enthusiast put it on a website: "These pictures are amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what appears to be a naked alien running around on Mars."

Another, dismissing cynicism about the somewhat stony look of the "alien", wrote: "If you show me another rock in another photo from Mars, or Earth, that naturally looks like that, I will reconsider."

A third contributor, who might have come closer to the majority view, said: "Ah, the human eye can be tricked so easily."

We know so little about the world around us that I think it would be foolish to assume there is no life on Mars. We've only been studying the red planet for a very, very short time.

I think the pictures a interesting. It's possible it's a relic of a civilization long since extinct.

Something to keep in mind. Life finds a way to survive in the harshest conditions on earth. There's no reason I can see to presume life won't find a way to survive in the harshest conditions on mars.

In any case, no harm in exploring the possibility...

I believe that there is life on Mars.

EmoJoe · 01-26-2008, 01:34 AM

well, there has to be SOMETHING out there, whether on Mars...or wherever. we cant be the ONLY ones in this entire universe.

i dont nessacarily think those people are three-headed green monsters who's goal in life is to destroy us, but i do believe there's something out there, somewhere.

Goal in life? No. Just a hobby.

Weird! I thought it looked like a gorilla. I just saw this on the news and astronomer Phill Plait said it was a rock; "The rock on mars is actually just a few inches high and a few yards from the camera."

I'm not really into the "life" on another planet but.. never say never.

Highly unlikely.
Also highly unlikely that there would be a human-type form on Mars. With the differences compare to Earth (atmosphere & gravity, for example) if there was life, it would probably look a lot different than us.

It does look a bit freaky... it reminded me of the famous Patterson footage of a supposed Bigfoot walking along a creek bed in California!!!

Bigfoot is real ... and he/she is living on Mars!!

Ireneparalegal · 01-26-2008, 08:32 PM

Why is it assumed that figure is female?

It is a rock. Remember that whole face on Mars pic?

SBTB Geek · 01-27-2008, 03:23 AM

He probably got so tired of all the Britney coverage that he moved to Mars.

There's definitely life on other planets. I've always had a theory that somewhere out there, there's a planet alot like Earth with humans just like us, only with extremely different cultures.
