text: In addition to technological improvements and understanding of the universe, our belief in social media and public news is phenominal. We trust in almost everything that news reporters, magazines, websites, and spreading word tells us. Rumors and false reports spread quickly and in a wide range. Also, expounding on existing rumors happens often. When the public heard of the Face on Mars, word of aliens and other beings existing on Mars dispersed through the people of Earth. Many people had believed that NASA was keeping such information in secrecy from the media. As public interest peaked, NASA was persuaded to investigate the landform on Mars once again. The public interest can be seen in paragraph five, "The Face on Mars has since become a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!" This shows us that our belief in public reports is true. We believe in what media and others tell us, not always specifically what the source, in this case, NASA tells us.
