Re: Closeup Micro Imager Pictures and Fossils - Fossils and Life on Mars in 2005 ?

Extraterrestrials. Are they ready for humans as judged by appearance in these images? Is Earth ready for the confrontation and is it apparent and warranted in these images?

Good find. That colony picture is very convincing. However, the 'Potato Man' seems just a matter of chance even though they stated it couldn't have been.

Is Earth ready? No. At least in my opinion, the average human would not be able to swallow the fact that we are not alone. In my experience, people are afraid of that which they do not understand, which is sad.

Re: Closeup Micro Imager Pictures and Fossils - Fossils and Life on Mars in 2005 ?

I have been busy running all over town, and neglected to check into the replies here, sorry this is so late a response. Yes, persons and human fears are the real stumbling block the exploration of space, and not as much the technical difficulties. We could have orbited mars and returned by now perhaps, even a sample return mission landed and launched from the surface remotely, similar to current sample return plans. I believe the short term goal of robotics is smart and safe. It can perform the basics cheaper currently.
The 'potato man' fossil in the photopage image would not enlarge much further. All those items are a few hundredths of an inch and smaller~a few ten thousndths of 1". They new before the rovers landed the items would likely be very small.
Potato man is I believe a shape which is repeated as a main core 'rod' with a dual 'leg' stringer tail, and a small lump which makes a 'head'. It may be a tiny version of the 'blueberry' and stem shape which comprises many of the Mars 'blueberries'. Recent photos also show a set of articulate 'legs' which may acually flex or move. Dual counter-helical spiraling seen only in biology on Earth as well. Some Mars spheres do not have the 'stem' displayed. Mystery there, as in much of these first photos.
I am assembling the entry page to link to a universal photo link page and then the website will show hundreds of photos which are not now not linked or accessible. In a few  days.
Please check back at two websites soon again for changes.
To me this is exciting and not fear inducing- to some the daily grind is all the 'science' that is tolerated, and safety and servility is the rule. Variability is the human problem, not technology as such. These may well have cousins on Earth now, or in pre-cambrian to cambrian times,3.5Billion-550M past.
The photos are real in content. They originate on Mars. I cannot distinguish 'living' from 'non-living' in the items as there are no organic and no motion tests involved as yet.
I use a $10.00 photo editor for these and, additional free programs; the images are all freely available at:
[  marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/   ]     Thanks for the response- more still arriving every day from the robot photographers on Mars! Mars may be as special as the Earth is!

Hmmm. I get a 'rederect' page, and then a server timeout...

Re: Closeup Micro Imager Pictures and Fossils - Fossils and Life on Mars in 2005 ?

I am not sure which link you are referencing- try my pages as some of my older photo file sharing addresses were failing. They will be re-established in the same ooriginal names eventually. Software and power stability problems. The NASA site should be very stable- if only I could slide my files on over to their machines I could take a vacation. New Micro camera images are in and they are out of focus again, with lots of odd looking shapes. Sometimes I have to question the methods of accumulation as expensive and overlooking the effects seen. I can only produce what they record. Lets hope(or write in) for more attention to detail and accuracy in all work effect.     Temporary addresses:
