Rorschach must love this stuff when it turns up.

Mars base? Looks more like a clump of about 10 white pixels heavily compressed to JPG to me. Could just as easily be something quickly zipping past the lens as the shot was being taken, or an artifact from editing the pictures together.

Ah, the news...

It's interesting, but it could be anything. I do like how he automatically starts talking about it possibly being an alien waystation. Way to go for the logical conclusions first, guy.

There's a Google Mars?

My guess - either something added by a bored Google employee for a laugh, something added by google for copyright reasons (like trap streets on real maps), or viral marketing for Red Faction Armageddon (or Origins)

My guess is that it's some sunlit ice or frost in a roughly straight valley or riverbed, and that the posterization/low resolution of the image is making it look much straighter and sharper-edged than it really is.

It's the Face on Mars all over again -- it was only a trick of the sunlight combined with over-processing and over-enhancement of the image that made it look even remotely facelike (the "nostril" was actually a missing pixel, not a physical feature of the outcropping at all).

What about the Ass on Mars all the way on the other side of the planet?

Look a mobile home on Mars!

It was obviously made by bigfoot:

Well, I guess that's it...now all our base ARE belong to Google.

 

[Yevetha]

Probably someone mixed up the onion with a real news source.

"I hope it's not a weapon."

"Whoever put it there had a purpose."

"It appears fairly well maintained."

Fantastic.

 

[Jetfire]

^ Yeah that guy sounds stupid in the video.

Ahh..so that is where I parked my spaceship
I thought I left it on the other side of the planet..

Fantastic.

The Mars base was created by man.

It rebelled.

It evolved.

It is well maintained.

And it has a purpose.

I hope you put enough in the meter, the parking fines on Mars are steep and if they put a boot on your ship, whooo, boy. Might as well buy a new ship.
