Coast to Coast AM Science Advisor Richard C. Hoagland and former Boeing aerospace engineer Mike Bara introduced their just released book Dark Mission. It's a compendium of NASA's lies and deceptions, Hoagland declared.
Here are some of NASA's deceptions that the two authors claim have been foisted upon the American public:
NASA presents itself as a civilian space agency. It's actually a military agency, that won't allow private enterprise space missions to leave orbit, said Hoagland.
NASA views the solar system as a dead place. Then why would discoveries be classified?, asked Bara.
Colored photos from Viking and Pathfinder were doctored to make the Martian sky look red. The first images of Mars actually looked like Arizona with blue skies, but NASA wants us to think that Earth is the only place for life, said Hoagland.
A Martian rover pulled up a rock that appeared to contain a fossil. But it was subsequently ground up into dust rather than studied, Bara noted.
The two also recounted that in 1963, JFK offered a deal with Khrushchev to team up for a joint Russian-American mission to the moon. And then, just days after Khrushchev reportedly agreed to the proposal, JFK was assassinated in Dallas. The Americans weren't going to the moon as part of a space race, but for the prize of discovering a long-dead civilization, Hoagland asserted.

I don't want to seem negative against an otherwise interesting topic. However I feel compelled to say that in my opinion, Richard C. Hoagland's a serious mistake to any and all looking for answers.
Kinda: "my names richard x. Hoagland" -- and I know everything !!
Nope.

Just the sheer number of people trying to discredit Hoagland makes him very interesting to me. If someone is getting character assassinated by lots of people, you can bet there is some truth to what he says.
Besides, what he says seem to be exactly what many other sources are saying as well. This is not new.
There IS a base on the moon.
Now other nations are launching moon missions, but I doubt NASA will let them ruin the cover up.
What truth, that the sky is blue? NASA says it as well, and shows it.

Hoagland tells the truth though about the colour of Mars sky, this he deserves credit for. He also deserves credit for saying there is running water on Mars, which Nasa has confirmed.

As for the running water, I do not remember NASA having confirmed the presence of running water at the present.

Second, if NASA sees the solar system as a dead place why are they looking for life on Mars with their "follow the water" idea?

First of all, I wouldn't make any publicity work for someone that is selling a book unless I could get a percentage.

Third, why is Hoagland still talking about Viking and Pathfinder when there are two rovers (and a third on its way) on Mars that show blue skies on their photos?
The supposed fossil did not looked like a fossil to me.
