that's what I told my cousin, I told him to get a rocket up there and find out whats going on. I bet he wouldn't do it if he had the money to but I bet he'd carry on making such claims anyway.It is always about the claim and how good it seems instead of the evidence, hence as you well say crackpots.no scientific curiority whatsoever just claims and more claims and nice stories. I looked at him the other day and said "Yo, cousin, I know you're older than me but please, just put a bullet in my head"i don't need to keep hearing the rambling all day.". Its not that I mind a strnge tale now and then, after all sometimes fact really is stranger than fiction, but civilisations on mars? He tells me that it's more or less in the goldilocks area and it may well be (I'm not an astronomer so perhaps one of you fine astronomical minds could clear that one up for us)but that doesn't mean there's anything going on now, and there probably has never been and those pictures are inconclusive anyway, for sure.
I wonder if there's a 32 minute drum solo? 
A jeweler's loupe of 20 to 40 magnification, because that doesn't show very small things such as bacteria or single cell creatures. Nevertheless it did show what appears to be necklace beads or tiny eggs, such as from insects.
