text: NASA is only saying its life, and also saying the face was created by Aliens because itll benefit them in the long run. In paragraph 3 it even says, " The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." Then in paragraph 4 it restates, "It certainly did!" Meaning, the engagemnet to the public and on Mars worked. Now, that NASA discovered the Face on Mars, it has become a pop icon, starred in Hollywood films, and ETC.
