Many of the craters in the new MRO images appear to have ancient city ruins in them. Is RCH right this time (for the first time)?

The Cydonian "Face on Mars" was indeed an artifact -- it was an artifact of the camera resolution of the (for the time) sophisticated Viking missions. The entire image is made up of about 32 pixels. The late 1990s yielded better shots of the area, including the "Face", which is an unremarkable formation. I'm sure Hoaxland is already feverishly coming up with some explanation for how the "real" images have been doctored again by NASA, in its scheme for instituting Freemasonic Isis worship or whatever.

Here's the beginning...

Just curious. Have you been keeping up with the new photos from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter? So far they're all calibration photos but I think they're going to be good.
