More great imagery and more proof that all our scientists and Nasa cant explain it either.
Im still laughing at how plasm light discharges(bright spots in images) from obvious structures on the moon is still considered natural and not worth(by the science community) further and rigourous study.

Hey Ron, why the devil can't you use your influence to pull this off?

When did that supposed conversation took place?
On orbit before landing (or should I say mooning ), when they were on the surface of the Moon or after they took off from the Moon?

It is certainly a waste of resources to get something so tiny onto Mars. I mean tiny in comparison to when it lifted off. The debris is left behind in space.
the CASE FOR THE $435 HAMMER
"You want how much for a beer?!' asks the patron of a bar in the cartoon strip "Motley's Crew.'
"Four bucks,' the bartender replies.
Says the patron: "That must be the same outfit that sells hammers to the Pentagon.'
Claw hammers, to be exact. The kind you buyat your local hardware store for between $7 and $10; billed to the Pentagon for $435 a piece. In the three years since the story broke, the $435 hammer has become synonymous with waste in the Department of Defense (DOD). From Beetle Bailey to Walter Mondale, everyone has expressed outrage at this apparent swindle. The hammer contract has been investigated by Congress, discussed during the 1984 presidential debates, and used as Exhibit A by politicians, journalists, and businessmen in their recent calls for military reform.
I have always said that there is life on Mars and that it is living underground, not above ground like we do here and that the water is subterranean water and an intelligence could be making use of the resources underground rather than above ground due to the extreme temperatures.

Aside from being unattractive or an issue for human health, microorganisms can attack the structure of a spacecraft itself. "Microorganisms can degrade carbon steel and even stainless steel,” Steele continued. "In corners where two different materials meet, they can set up a galvanic [electrical] circuit and cause corrosion. They can produce acids that pit metal, etch glass, and make rubber brittle. They can also foul air and water filters."...
This dust mite was found floating in a globule of water onboard Mir. Other microorganisms collected include protozoa and amoeba. [More]
Moreover, the mass of water was only one of several hiding behind different panels. Scientists later concluded that the water had condensed from humidity that accumulated over time as water droplets coalesced in microgravity. The pattern of air currents in Mir carried air moisture preferentially behind the panel, where it could not readily escape or evaporate.
Nor was the water clean: two samples were brownish and a third was cloudy white. Behind the panels the temperature was toasty warm—82ºF (28ºC)—just right for growing all kinds of microbeasties. Indeed, samples extracted from the globules by syringes and returned to Earth for analysis contained several dozen species of bacteria and fungi, plus some protozoa, dust mites, and possibly spirochetes.
But wait, there's more. Aboard Mir, colonies of organisms were also found growing on "the rubber gaskets around windows, on the components of space suits, cable insulations and tubing, on the insulation of copper wires, and on communications devices," said Andrew Steele, senior staff scientist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington working with other investigators at Marshall Space Flight Center....
NASA researchers announce a potential cause of rapid kidney stone formation in astronauts on space travels. The authors of a study published in Kidney International call for a "Major Initiative" to investigate nanobacteria.
Nanobacteria (NB), a novel self-replicating, mineralizing agent, has been identified by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists as a potential culprit in kidney stone formation among astronauts. With the potential for future exploratory space missions to the moon and Mars, longer missions, and exposure to the elements of outer space, health is a major concern for astronauts.

You know... now that I look at it closely... sorta reminds me of Morse Code long dashes short dots separated by spaces..
