Face on Mars?
Special Infomation Page from the Mars Chronicle.
The Face on Mars; Also known as "The Sphinx on Mars".
In the 1970s NASA's Mars orbiter "Viking 1" took this satillite picture of a face on Mars. For over 20 years it was to become an image/icon for extra-terrestrial lifeform spotters, theorists, sects, and investigators...The image was taken in the Cydonia Mensae region of Mars (view map below)
In the late 1990s The area was mapped by the NASA Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) MOLA (Mars Oribital Laser Altimeter) Which is a satillite orbiting Mars that fires a laser beam to the surface of Mars: To learn more click here.

Now Nasa say the face is a hill more correctly a Mesa (A big lump of rock sticking up on a flat plain.) However this interuptation is not without critics.Critique: click here.
Here is a Mola based image of the face...Not looking to much like a face eh? Could be an altered image though?...Well we will soon Know for sure...Because a couple of days ago I received a message from a friend, I have posted the relevant parts of the communication below..
"Geeze, Next you guys will be thinking you saw a face on mars. :p - Dave"
My Reply
"Dave The Face you are probably referring to was an image shot by viking one As I am just a few hundred kilometers north of of the spot..I will send a couple of robots to take a look for you..that should settle the matter once and for all.
I can spare the robots, Moltech just sent me another six hundred after the diamond find .So I have a task force now of 800 Robots. So sending a couple to search for "the face on Mars" is "No problemo"....Stay tuned It will take them a couple of days minimum to locate the area...Indy"
The Face on Mars Trail Map
by Jim Garvin Chief Scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program
Hike length is approximately 5.5 km or 3.6 miles one way, with a total elevation gain of nearly a thousand feet. Rating.... easy at start and midsection, with some very steep sections. Take plenty of water and oxygen.
NOTES: Starting to the SOUTH, away from the Face (hereafter FOM), the hike begins with a walk to the scree slopes at the south base of the feature, and then moves to the right (east) around the base of the FOM, and then to the NNW up to a breach in the feature about midway through the eastern middle. At this point there is a passage up the east flank of the feature, and the hike takes this route, passing between the two ridge-like prominences that outline the eastern "battlements" of the FOM... then the hike traverses a smoother patch before it turns and skirts the summit region before finding a circuitous path to the upper reaches of the FOM (where there is a flat, bright circular patch about 100 m in diameter).

Thats the route the robots will take "Thanks Jim" -O)

RHS1.com & The Mars Chronicle are requesting support, sponsorship or donation to finace the expedition to the interior of Mars.
- We will be untilising the most advaced technolgy available. ANTS, Arachnidroids, robots, drones, multipods, Braingate androids, and testing Moltech's new scaramobile.
- We will be searching for traces of an extra-terrestrial civilisation. "We are not alone"
- We will be searching for a source of heat in the interior of Mars. "What is heating the water in the caverns of Mars?"
- We will be searching for the destination of the water. "How is it circulating? How does it work?"
- This is a scientific endevour even if it is exploration in the spirit of Columbus, Livingstone, and Cook.
- We will venture into the complete unknown. "Quo Vadis?"
- Who will join the next step for mankind? "See below"
- "We will lare bare the rocks of the imagination."
"If any thing you can imagine did not exsist , you could not imagine it"

::Tibetian wisdom.::
"We have suspected for some time that Mars once had large amounts of water near the surface." But where did all that water go? And what are the implications for life on Mars? "Measuring and mapping the icy soils in the polar regions of Mars as the Odyssey team has done is an important piece of this puzzle, but we need to continue searching, perhaps much deeper underground, for what happened to the rest of the water we think Mars once had."
