Vicky,
That was VERY well stated! In my opinion EVERYONE has a right to be
suspicious with NASA.
They break their own rules, lie to us continually, hide images from
us for extended periods of time, post pieces of trash like the catbox
image (which even the Skeptical Inquirer agrees is an improperly
filtered image), prepares articles to bash and criticise the subject
BEFORE the image is even released, and then on top of that does not
even take the COUPLE OF MINUTES to release the auxillary data to go
along with the image!
All of this, and we are expect to "trust" NASA, JPL, and MSSS? I do
not think so!
In my opinion both this image and the 98 MGS image are too different
from Viking (and in some ways EACH OTHER) to be considered unaltered
and totally real. And unless they are real and totally unaltered they
are basically useless for research.
I wish that this imaging was done properly. And that NASA had obeyed
their own rules for a change. But no, it was not. And I think we need
to make sure the next time we get an image of the Face that they obey
their rules and a few of OUR OWN!
Because if we do not get some type of confirmation of this image,
that it is indeed real, how can we EVER trust any other image from
NASA, JPL, or MSSS EVER again!?
Some people may consider us paranoid or overly suspicious, but NASA
has made us this way. And people should realize it is dreadfully
stressful to to feel this way!
