My friends and I, who have nothing to do with the government, are sending a robot to mars. If you can find out the location of this so-called face, the robot can explore that area and I will then post images on dA.
You do realize that lauch will be Dec. 09, so we will not get the pics untill the end of 2010.

I actually read the newest book by Hoagland "Dark Mission" and I actually thought it was a very good read. He backs up a lot of his work with some hard evidence and support from independant resources. With some people would just laugh and point at his work, he puts a lot of time and effort into proving his theory. Also, NASA puts an extraordinary time researching the Cydonia area of Mars and a lot of the features surrounding the area are VERY intriguing and point to artificial construction. One of the main points Hoagland argues is that if there was nothing at Cydonia, then NASA wouldn't give a shit about it and just move on.
Another point brought up by Hoagland is the direct connection between the monuments on Mars and their position on the planet. Did you know the face on Mars shares the same longitude and latitude on the Sphinx on Earth?

Well, to play "Point-Counterpoint" :
Although I haven't read any of his books, I have read much of his site (and, being a midnite shifter, have heard some of his interviews on 'Coast to Coast A.M.' ). While he does seem to have good research to support his facts, the conclusions he draws are often VERY over the top.
As the saying goes: Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Proof, and making a case for a dead monolith building civilization on Mars (or one that built miles-high glass towers on the moon) requires just that.
I would also say that Hoagland is as much responsible for NASA's interest in Cydonia as anything else; as I understand it NASA wasn't going to photograph the area again until a lot of public support for the idea grew (and they are supported by tax dollars). Its the same way that they throw some of the prettier images from Hubble at the general public to keep them happy, while doing the uninteresting non-pretty real science with most of the money
With all due respect, I just can't believe any of the theories of Hoagland, Sitchen, or any others (and after 'Crystal Skull" comes out its going to start again, big time ).
One final geeky note: Theories like this make GREAT fodder for pencil-and-paper role playing games, like Dark*Matter : [link]

Yeah dont you love those government conspiracies theorists. I mean they arent smart enough to screw in a light bulb but they can completely cover up the existence of my people yeah right.
I admit when I saw the pic I hoped this might be a pic of the Martian Queen though lol

Oh get up you are making a scene. Besides we find it better to plant the seed of truth so that no one will actually believe things when they do happen. Ever wonder why the only people are abducted are inbred hillbillies and drunks. . yeah they end up being such credible witness
And keep trying for the queen. Those who do good likeness of her will be rewarded in cog ergo sum deux ex machina
