When my friend first sent me the following link I thought, "Oh great, another conspiracy theorist". Upon looking at the photos though (especially the sundial), and checking the photos on JPL's website it looks like there may be something to this. Patrick, can you verify or refute this? I suppose it isn't a big deal, but if they are altering the colors what is the purpose? http://fire.prohosting.com/cleoger/marscolors/

Or that the person putting the page theory together does not understand how colors look in different wavelengths. Much of the stuff on the page has been discussed during the daily press conferences (in one case they noted that one of those color tabs on the "Marsdial" would be brilliant white if viewed in infrared.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Hubble Space Telescope will be allowed to degrade and eventually become useless, as NASA changes focus to President Bush's plans to send humans to the moon, Mars and beyond, officials said Friday.
Above says it all. No mission to Hubble before the space shuttle is retired. Sadly Bill B.
Deorbit a functioning telescope at least 4 years before its replacement is launched. I guess I don't understand the reasoning. But then they do have to come up with 11 billion dollars somewhere to pay for the return to the Moon and on to Mars. Patrick William Biesele wrote:
