Vegetation on Mars? It would certainly appear so. Of course, appearances can be deceiving. What do you think?

And why, if this is near the south pole, our next probe, to test for water and life, is being sent to the edge of the north pole, where it will remain stationary, and nothing like this appears where the probe will land. Seems odd.; 9:54 PM

There are two problems with your argument. First: form follows function, which is why we have organisms with completely different ancestory looking very similar when they adapt themselves to similar environments or lifestyles. Second it is not beyond possibility that Mars seeded Earth or Earth seeded Mars with DNA based organisms.; 8:52 AM

Many thanks for the link! I hadn't seen these. You're right -- it looks like we're seeing geology after all.; 2:14 AM
