Life on Mars?
Posted by Lando Cakes on 11 June 2011 - 3:51pm.
I've spent a happy Saturday afternoon pottering about the surface of Mars, courtesy of Google Earth's Mars feature (click the button on the toolbar that looks like Saturn, choose Mars from the drop down list).
Imagine my surprise to stumble across an actual Martian. Well, OK some sort of AI application. You can find it (roughly)here:
40°45'5.80"N 9°27'11.62"W
Look for 'MELIZA'.
That's if you're as easily amused as I am, of course, and after you've taken advantage of all the serious scientific fly-throughs and so on.
Oh, and somebody has found a house (no, not really):

Well it's certainly big enough
but there aren't any decent schools in the area. And if the Aussie massive subscribers think they have to wait for their delivery of The Word....
Hate to be a wet blanket
but isn't it more likely to be a digital artefact?
Mind you, King of Bullshit Richard Hoagland made an entire career out of stuff like that.
Isn't that Barry Manilow's
welding mask?
Oh hang on, wrong thread...
Yes
Some sort of digital artefact from the process of knitting together images or whatever.
Merde!
Remember when houses were real things and not just digital artefacts. Remember that? The real world. You could touch things. They were really there. Not like now...etc
The sands of Mars
here's a 21st century headline for y'all:
