Yes. I am not an idiot
What you are calling "hair" looks to me like ot is probably part of the instrument package seen on the end of the arm here on the left, if you rotate the instrument package 180 degrees. The part that you think looks like "hair" is pointing down in this photo:

Thanks a lot. Well then I better post this too:
I don't think ATS can handle that link as a link, though you can click "quote" and copy and paste it to the browser, but seeing how Mars conspiracy theorists aren't the brightest bunch, they won't bother to read the description of how the photo was made and it will just fuel their conspiracy theory. It looks like someone else had to take the photo (I think there was actually a thread about this on ATS), and there's a shadow of a part that can't be seen in the image, again all this is explained in the description which apparently conspiracy theorists sometimes don't bother to read.

Now I do hope I actually didnt find anything secret from nasa. Hehehhehhe. They wouldnt want this information out if its real hm. Oh crappity crap what I have done hm.

If my theory and calculations are correct and Mars has 100-300mbar pressure, you dont need a space suit.
You dont need a space suit to walk on mars, neither on Mount everest. Its 300 mbar on mount everest.
You only need warm clothes and oxygen.

Therefore its entirely plausible to see hair in that picture. Nasa believes that since everyone else believes that its 6mbar on mars, you need big clumpy space suits like in movies to walk on Mars when you actually need lamb wool and oxygen tank.
Therefore they think peoples brains wont even think of the theory that, that could be hair because peoples "logic" would override that possibiltiy. But that logic is based on tv movies and other fairytales about Mars.
You dont need a space suit in mount everest. Also since Mars is lighter gravity, you can have a bigger oxygen tank in your back. So you infact can have quite a big system on you and it still might weigh only 20 actual pounds. Ofcourse muscle and bone atrophy has probably arleady started on astronauts on Mars and they are getting special steroids for bone reinforcements and other stuff so these tanks might get heavier by time unless they keep training somehow.
Im sure they are doing genetic tests in secret bases if they can come up with treatments to make people better survive on Mars without loosing their strength. Like muscle and bone strength relating to gravitational caused weakness since human body adapts to what is required from it. Ofcourse this might be a loss we must take, that people are a bit weaker on Mars in the long term and theres nothing you can do. Ofcourse you dont notice it as long as you stay on Mars but if you would come back to earth, it could take 1-2 years to regain strength. Human Dna is still hard coded for earths gravity and other stuff so it would likely bounce back. All I wonder is are these astronauts are ever coming back from Mars or does their contract have some clause they can come back if super technology is created one day and they can be flown back. Or if that technology (ships) already exist and they are rotating people to mars and back, as we speak.
Ofcourse there are theories that humans came from Mars to begin with because our daily body clock is tuned more to Mars than Earth so we might actually come from Mars. This might sound a bit scifi that we come from Mars originally compared to what I earlier told but im sure theres a link. We will see it one day (again) if were lucky.
You might wanna have some vaseline kind material to make a good seal but you only need oxygen and warm clothes depending on the weather.
