text: The evidence in the passage supports my thesis because it states that since the original photo was taken in 1976 when they were looking for the Viking 1's sister ship Viking 2 places to land they saw the "face" "NASAs Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face." NASA have been taking pictures and researching the "face". Their research has helped them come to the conclusion that it is a mesa and not a martian creation to look like a human face.
