text: After another spacecraft was sent to take a picture people still weren't satisfied. In paragraph eight it talks about how the second aircraft that took a picture was stuck behind clouds and people thought the image taken may be distorted in some way. To please the people NASA sent another aircraft to Mars to take yet another picture, but it wasn't easy. In paragraph nine it says "Mission controllers prepared to look again. "It's not easy to target Cydonia," says Garvin... Mars Global Surveyor is a mapping spacecraft that normally looks straight down and scans the planet like a fax machine in a narrow 2.5 km-wide strips. "We just don't pass over the Face very often." This statement proves that NASA would do anything to prove the landform was a natural occurance and when the picture came in, the doubts stopped. In the last paragraph it is stated that "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West." This put to rest the crazy theories of alien communication and proved what the face really was, a naturally occuring landform no different than others of its kind.
