The text said "We felt this was important ot taxpayers," explained Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. "We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it." The article also said "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, landforms common around the American West. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho" says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height and the Face on Mars." The Face isn't made by aliens or anything of that sort. Even if people wanted to it to be something the Face is just a landform.
