Are our rovers truly on Mars?

Radio signals can be easily faked, even direction!

How would one go about faking a radio signal from the direction of Mars?

Bounce a signal off Mars?

a reply to: VoidHawk

Prove to me that is possible. reliable, and will fool the world.

Could this help in proving it? I do not know of anywhere else in the solar system we could actually film this.
I guess it could be fake, but hell, why?

You'd need a pretty damned snazzy rig to receive that signal.

i imagine a satellite system would be cheaper then a Mars rover. Just because of the amount of satellites in space, vs. the amount of rovers.


So, can anyone show some evidence that NASA has rovers on Mars?

Nope.

Can you show evidence that they don't?

Obviously its CGI from a secret team at ILM that they transmitted and bounced off of Mars.

You know what sucks?
People are out there that said the moon landings were hoaxed and now that we have photos from multiple countries showing the landers and rovers.... they still say it was hoaxed.

We will never be rid of them.

Depends on the strength of the original signal.

a reply to: VoidHawk

Yes, yes it does.
You get a cookie too.

Quite weak signals bounce all the way around the entire earth, just ask any radio operater. Unlike on earth signals in space travel unhindered.

Then they spent millions of $$ to design, yest, build two rovers only to not send them to the place for which they are specifically designed? And to add to that the EDL systems too? And the launch systems?

For what reason?

PS: You still failed to tell us about this cost savings.....I await with baited breath.

How do I know YOU exist?

Quite weak signals bounce all the way around the entire earth, just ask any radio operater.

And there is no way to locate their source.

Unlike on earth signals in space travel unhindered.

Except for that pesky inverse squared rule.

What is the proof that would convince you?

Also where do you think this site is on earth they are using?

And they travel a lot (A LOT) further....by orders of magnitude (x2 for a round trip).

Try punching the numbers into the basic radar equation, see what you get for results.

I think you're going to be amazed at the ridiculous non-feasibility of it.

You'd also have to know how to use the kit.

But we're discussing a signal coming from the direction of mars.

Except for that pesky inverse squared rule.

That brings us back to the strength of the original signal
