You do know they are on earth right? Nothing can get passed the radiation belts around earth without failing or plain just falling apart.

Good post, if that picture of the rodent was supposed to have been taken on Mars then it should be game over for the whole Rover sham, no way is that a rock.

Exactly.
Which is more plausible;
We have a Rover driving around Mars and taking images of rodents and fossils.
Or
We are up in Canada, faking it and didn't notice the Lemmings and fossils.

Mars has absolutely no military or strategic value. It is too far away and too difficult to get there for it to be any use to anyone.

Well in this ATS thread, posted last week, they were discussing a dome. Rover dome, posted Nov. 25, 2015
I am unfamiliar with Canada. Are there any known observatories or research stations on this island?
Actually there are DEW (Defense Early Warning) radar stations left over from the cold war on Devon island. I know this as my sister spent many summers in university traveling up there as part of a clean up crew to deal with the leaking PCB's from the diesel generators. She actually ended up doing a masters thesis on how pumpkins can metabolize PCB's safely. I remember her telling me and showing me pics of the NASA Mars habitat test sites she visited when she was up there.
I suppose this could be a plausible theory. But I just don't see why after building and successfully testing robots and rockets, they wouldn't just go all the way to Mars.

The famous/infamous rodent picture on Mars seems to be, if looked at closely, two rocks. One makes up the "head and neck" portion, the other the body. Perspective is everything. And of course the rovers are on Mars. Be glad that human minds have imagined and formed such a mission, mechanics, and trip, and then pulled it off.

All that time in northern Canada and they didn't capture one person on a skidoo. Plus the Inuits would totally checked out the rover if they came across it while out hunting and trapping. I know I would so they would to.
