text: Also, finding out their was ancient civilization or aliens currently on Mars would benefit NASA greatly, as it would be seen as a huge accomplishment. The article states, "Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars-evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. "Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." My question is for you, why would NASA try to cover up or hide that they indeed found aliens or life forms creating things on Mars? NASA spent a long time taking pictures and doing research to look at this kind of stuff, even though something like this would be a huge event in all of history. It would become a great accomplishment for NASA and they would definitely want to share what they have discovered. When they first found the Face, NASA gained popularity from commercials and it became an icon. So if the Face was indeed created by aliens, NASA would gain even more popularity, if they thought the face was anything more that a landform after all the pictures and research.
