Rock formation on Mars

2005 picture of Mars' surface taken by the Exploration Rover Opportunity

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena built the twin rovers, the other being Spirit, which has been silent since March 2010. They were launched in June 2003 and started sending pictures back to Earth by January 2004.

Can you believe this is a real picture of another planet? Think about it.

Obviously it's another planet. If it was Earth there would be those ring thingies that hold six packs together & gin bottles & pop cans & stuff all over the place...
Someday they will find fossilized tire tread marks on Earth.

It can’t be Earth. I don’t see any Starbucks or McDonald’s.
