Spacey Stuff

Photo of moon 1969


First photo of Rover on Mars













 So we landed a Rover on Mars today. When I was in school many years ago, we were  taught that we couldn't get to Mars. It was simply too far. C'mon, 354 million miles? I don't think so. And the landing technique? Are you kidding me? Arriving at a speed of 13,000 miles an hour, the craft supposedly slowed to 900 MPH just by passing through the Martian smog, then deployed a supersonic parachute, the kind Batman uses. Still not on the ground, it had to lose the parachute, fire some rockets with red glare in honor of Mars, then be lowered by a sky crane. A sky crane? Well, that's convenient. I guess it's typical of a Martian parking garage.
Well, you heard it here first! This is the fake moon landing all over again. Way back in 1969 the world got all atwitter over the U.S. landing on the moon. Within hours, the skeptics had decided the landing was a hoax, all the video had been broadcast from a movie studio in Hollywood.
If the Mars landing is not fake, how is it that 43 years after the moon landing, we still get a black and white photo with a Rover foot in the picture? Are we being duped again, the skeptics will ask?
Seriously, this photo suggests that it's the Mars landing is also fake, probably generated from the Nickelodeon studios in Orlando.
