text: These are all the reasons i believe summer projects should be student-designed because it allows students to be more involved in what there learning and it also allows students to learn at there own speed and level.   The Face on Mars is just a natural landform. This is not a face created by aliens. The picture taking in 1998 revealed it was a natural landform, if NASA would have said it was aliens they would recieve more funding, however they said it was an illusion of a face, and in 2001 the picture taken clearly shows that it is a natural landform.
