Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena erupted in cheers when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which left Earth in August, signalled that it had achieved orbit around a planet that has defeated two-thirds of the probes sent there.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Hi Mac
It is a lot of work to crank out one blog, let alone two, so no worries about lack of updates on the imperative.
Just not enof time in the day for more than one blog, now if we could quit our day job…
Check out Fridays Mars Relay Station blog, two great alien artifacts seen by the rover.
These relics are photographed by the high resolution panoramic camera, and are up close to the rover, so there is no question of pixelization this time.

My question to you Mac, do you know if NASA is going to post all the Recon Orbiters photos on the net, like they did with Global surveyor?
Do you really think the Viking image can support the description of rectilinear furrows?
The pixels are so rough in that magnified circle, I'd say it's more likely that they are image artifacts.
Gerald--
The new images are via MSSS (or so I assume), so would imagine they'd be posted like the MGS images. At least they'd better be!
Carol--
What "furrows" are you talking about?
I'm referring to what you said in CI 48 in December: "Moreover, new images are needed to evaluate the so-called rectilinear furrows, or "tunnels," seen marking a nearby crater."

Or is that referring to something not shown in those illustrations?
Carol,
Yes, I was referring to the "tunnels." I'm inclined to think they're *probably* imaging artifacts, but I still really want to see a hi-res image to be sure.
