Yes indeed. That is the fuel for the conspirators. Why no high resolution images? Your post did inspire a post on lake Steadman in the Mars water today thread.
Now are they playing us for funds or hiding something.
The next conspiracy will be the death of the rovers. The media leak was NASA funds need to be cut. There was an uproar from the wanttobe scientist like me.
Now Opportunity is stuck in a rut and Spirit is losing power in winter. Throw another log on the fire.

]]>While I sure don't believe these images represent what the UFO cranks think they show, I find some of them truly fascinating, especially the ones that appears to show brines and strange geology. It would be nice indeed to have some really high resolution images of these places, not only to debunk the crazies a'la what happened when the high-res "Face Of Mars" images appeared, but because I really am interested in what is actually causing these features.
Here's hoping.
]]>Skipper and Mars anomaly research, what a hoot. He keeps posting and I keep looking and hoping he will sober-up.
Skipper serves a purpose, he got me gizzed up years ago. The MRO has shot down most of questions about the Clark Trees. The JPEG compression is responsible for the buildings and towns he has seen.

]]>I heard from a friend I met recently that a fellow had discovered some new evidence of intelligent activity on the planet. Has anyone on the forum heard about this?
Proof? Proof is in the eye of the beholder. I believe you are refering to the images I put forward recently. As I understand it, people with much more smarts than me are looking at them and what they think is anyones guess as they refuse to comment and went into silent mode.
I suppose if they think there is anything to them they'll write a book about it later on. If you want to look at some of the images look at some threads I started right here. I think they start 7 threads down.
]]>I don't think these images prove anything about water, and certainly not about vegetation. If you take a lot of pictures in a complex geological environment, you'll get a lot of weird looking stuff. True on Earth; true on Mars.
By the way, where is the evidence of tampering?

]]>...and why the authorities have decided to explain all of these away as "defrost patterns" or "dry ice" or other nondescript, boring items?
"Nondescript" and "boring" are in no way synonymous with incorrect. Often the truth seems more boring than fantasy. These explanations are not coverups; they are the most likely explanations. Scientists generally apply the principle of Occam's razor, which in this case strongly favors "boring" explanations.
