My newspaper showed the crater but didn't point out the little car. I saw two specks there. I forgot its length but it should have been about 1/1000 to 1/500 as long as the crater is wide. |

This photo composite shows an aerial view of FedEx Field in Landover, Md., home of the Washington Redskins, superimposed on Mars' Victoria Crater to give a sense of the crater's scale. http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/160184main_pia08815-516.jpg |

Well thats it Walla, ET life has been confirmed. The Aliens built a Football Stadium on Mars. In fact it looks so funny you should post it in a funny picture thread in the cafe. It almost looks Real. {edit}I just went in and posted it in the thread Extratrestrial life discovered. It fits in well in the funny context of the thread! |
