http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7228640.stm The long quest for life on Mars By Dr Chris Lintott This is a straw man, placed in the news in order to easily knock down the idea. For example, this image has never reported: it depicts sculptured head of a Martian, photographed on Mars by Spirit You probably will have to copy the address below and paste it onto GO window of your browser: http://marslife.us/proof/c/art/2006-01-03-2N189580... This image can be viewed in stereo using red-cyan 3D glasses. By Dr Chris Lintott ------------------------------------------- http://marslife.us/press/WHAT_ABOUT_LIFE_ON_MARS.pdf The NY Magazine "Woman's World" has published an article about apparent sculptures on Mars , about a year ago. The sculptures are of human size, unlike the two inch tall "Man on Mars" recently in the news. They are seen is great detail, convincing of their artificial nature, and are reminiscent of art of the ancient civilizations of Earth. The things are moving in the right direction, since the publication of ground breaking news about that find by And More. 75 leading scientists for top 10 universities have anonymously published new research article, which shows that the supposed Little Mermaid is in fact Little Tiny or Thumbelina. The number of authors 75 complies exactly with And More Law, which predicts doubling of number of authors of scientific article every year. Another 20 years, and an article will have about billion authors, unless we hit some singularity along the road. NASA secretly insists that Andersen's tales could not result in any figures on Mars, but who believes them now? We know better, that is for sure. For three years, the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity have been traveling the Mars surface. In the images photographed by Spirit, a number of sculpture characters were discovered - some of them now recreated here on Earth. (I-Newswire) - Through the Ancient Art, Civilizations of the past are communicating with us over huge distances in time. Art proves its powers again in the most dramatic way, as a language that brings to us the Civilization of Mars. We are capable of recognizing the Art by heart, as it delivers the universal message of nobility, beauty, and creativity. Being universal and eternal, the Art easily transcends millions of years and miles, which separate Martian Civilization and ours, introducing to us Martians and their ideas. Of course, before Art could do its magic it must have been revealed thanks to the successes of Mars exploration. The images that have been taken by the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, and released by NASA to the public, made it possible to discover the Martian Sculpture Art and to recreate some of it on Earth. The items based on characters from Mars - Marseanna of Mars, and C Wolf of Mars - are now available on eBay, when searching for ‘character from Mars’. The Marseanna character is based on images, taken by the Spirit Panoramic Camera on or about March 18, 2004. The C Wolf character is based on images, taken by the Spirit Navigation Camera on or about April 1, 2004. The detailed scientific analysis is ahead, and it will provide insights of different kind and detail. But the message delivered by Art starts it all rolling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KENNETH FORD Physicist; Retired director, American Institute of Physics; Author, The Quantum World I believe that microbial life exists elsewhere in our galaxy. I am not even saying "elsewhere in the universe." If the proposition I believe to be true is to be proved true within a generation or two, I had better limit it to our own galaxy. I will bet on its truth there. I believe in the existence of life elsewhere because chemistry seems to be so life-striving and because life, once created, propagates itself in every possible direction. Earth's history suggests that chemicals get busy and create life given any old mix of substances that includes a bit of water, and given practically any old source of energy; further, that life, once created, spreads into every nook and cranny over a wide range of temperature, acidity, pressure, light level, and so on. Believing in the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy is another matter. Good luck to the SETI people and applause for their efforts, but consider that microbes have inhabited Earth for at least 75 percent of its history, whereas intelligent life has been around for but the blink of an eye, perhaps 0.02 percent of Earth's history (and for nearly all of that time without the ability to communicate into space). Perhaps intelligent life will have staying power. We don't know. But we do know that microbial life has staying power. Now to a supposition: that Mars will be found to have harbored life and harbors life no more. If this proves to be the case, it will be an extraordinarily sobering discovery for humankind, even more so than the view of our fragile blue ball from the Moon, even more so than our removal from the center of the universe by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton—perhaps even more so than the discovery of life elsewhere in the galaxy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DONALD HOFFMAN @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ How do we discover the discoveries? Even in the Age of Internet, and of the all knowing News Media, the things that are not of immediate practical importance, can be invisible in the plain view. The things that nevertheless might be expanding our knowledge and soul tremendously. Discovery of number of apparent sculptures on Mars deserves our attention on many levels. The ancient Civilization of Mars is our sister Civilization, it can contribute its Art and History to ours. The most fundamental of discoveries initially are so foreign and strange to the common sense, even to common sense in the ivory towers of science, that new can not be easily accepted. It is blacked out in the plain view for a while, until some luck brings the matter to fruition. Today, Life on Mars is still in the limbo, discovered but not accepted yet. The lesson is that after a discovery is made, each of us has to discover it for himself. Later we wonder, how we could be so blind - as things look obvious and natural in the rear view. The actual reason why we are so reluctant to accept the discovery of the Martian sculpture - of Martian ancient Civilization - was spelled out in the Edge magazine by Kenneth Ford, former director of American Institute of Physics.

It proves that in the past Mars had advanced and intelligent Life. The sculptures show, how remarkably close to us were Martians. It is our sister Civilization, and it will contribute its Art and History to ours. What has happen to the ancient Martian Civilization? Could it be that the advanced intelligent Life and functioning Civilization still exist on Mars? We can look forward to an avalanche of new discoveries and new sciences. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ http://www.clickpress.com/releases/Detailed/61076005cp.shtml Discovery discovered: Sculptures on Mars http://www.i-newswire.com/pr88044.html http://marslife.us/press/WHAT_ABOUT_LIFE_ON_MARS.pdf http://marslife.us/proof/ http://www.thespoof.com/editorials/index.cfm?eID=2390 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NASA secret directive leaked INTRODUCTION 1. The emrgency situation has emerged as a result of rogue Mars robots Spirit and Opportunity disobeying direct command to self-destruct. 2. The said robots already roam Mars for 4 years longer than planned, and the pictures continue coming. 3. The rogue rovers are expected to continue their mutiny and work, unless and until we will be able to send SWAT team to Mars to blow them up. 4. As a result, the 5 year plan of Martian discoveries is in grave danger. EMERGENCY MEASURES 1. Warn of termination or life imprisonment or revoking bradcast licences, for any employee who uses four letter L word (life). 2. In case rover cameras shoot anything that might suggest L. 3. 4.
