Here are before/after images from Opportunity of the same small stretch of Martian surface taken about 12 days apart:

Looks like proof that the Mars landing was a fake and staged in Hollywood. Good work Percy.

Whoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for. But until the end of the present exile has come and terminated this our imperfection by which "we know in part," I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca

The Moon too?
This news is making its rounds, some strange shape/spacecraft on the moon:

January 18, 2014 -- (TRN 1688 2022 - turnerradionetwork.com ) -- At least one enormous object of unknown origin has been visually verified as having landed on our moon. As a result, on Wednesday, January 15, three Terrier-Orion rockets blasted off within a span of 20 seconds from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. EST (0600 to 1000 GMT) on hush-hush missions for the Department of Defense (DoD).

Which part is the hoax? That the object is even there? Or that its there but it doesn't look anything like a spacecraft?
I couldn't get the Google Moon thing to work to look at it myself.

Re: The Moon too?
Probably artifacts on the image created from zooming digital data. Nature of the beast when working with digital images. Logarithms interpret things in a way that makes things look uniform.
Could be something though, but prob just artifacts from digital image.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: The Moon too?
Sounds like a real threat. Glad our military are on high alert. Wish they had used something that might reach altitudes of slightly more than 120 miles though.

Re: The Moon too?
So now the story has broke. I'm off the hook, so to say. I got a frantic call from some friends in Virginia about a week ago.
That 120 miles stuff is apparently a bogus cover story.
The three rockets that launched were not the small standard satellite boosters like the usual Taurus II but SLS-1301s (that are not even off the drawing board, yet, let alone funded for construction!! Wha!?). They saw them. And, yes, Billie is a rocket scientist. She works as a project engineer on the Taurus launches and was flabbergasted to see three rockets that have never been built launch over her house in quick succession.
They called me because they hoped I still had some contacts from a past life and could verify what she saw but the clamps are down. No one will admit to anything, but the way the denials are couched is telling.
You don't need that kind of power just to put up a damn satellite. And you don't use some super-secret massive rockets unless you need to launch a large payload to a far away location; like a mission to the moon. And you need three of them? A large lander? Plenty of supplies? And a crew!
