Good one, looking kind of "old railway sleeper" artificial. (Mars had
trees to make rail ties?)
btw, what's the little white thing in the upper left frame?

OK, so what's the caption to the image?

They ran directly over the top of it, so it's not such a large rail
sleeper/tie as you'd think.
However, small Mars folks shouldn't have needed much bigger than
quarter-scale.

How old are these frames that made up the composite image?

Makes this plank of Mars wood from a fairly old archived image kind of
weird. Wonder why it was intentionally withheld for so many years.
Apparently the faith-based rusemasters that are about to lose their
jobs, are starting to uncontrollably sweat.
Keeping our public media focus on Mars instead of Venus is clearly
their priority number one.

Seems rather odd how this topic has been so media ignored.
Here’s a perfectly good reason for our spendy and recently delayed MSL
to proceed: There’s an old railway sleeper found on Mars. At least
it’s by far a whole lot more interesting than anything else
discovered.

The above image is what makes this nifty plank or dimensional board
of petrified Mars wood, as rather clearly depicted from a fairly old
archived image, seem kind of out of this world weird. Wonder why it
was intentionally withheld by JPL, and otherwise having been
intentionally excluded for so many years, as perhaps similar to the
weird indications of Mars having an underground access plate, hatch or
grave marker.

Apparently the faith-based rusemasters that are about to lose a few of
their public funded jobs w/benefits are starting to uncontrollably
sweat. Perhaps keeping our public media focus on a very passive/
insert Mars instead of any highly active Venus or even Selene is
clearly their priority number one.
All we need is a viable multi-tonne payload capable fly-by-rocket
lander with a robust return-home capability, a pair of robust nuclear
reactors, a few tonnes of other essentials, a 4 years supply of beer,
pizza and toilet paper to go along with the trillion plus cost of a
Mars expedition, and perhaps a decade from now we'd get there.
Too bad there's so little of any value on Mars that we here on Earth
could use, although that Mars plank of wood could bring 100+ millions
at auction.
That's certainly a perfectly good one for Mars, as though looking kind
of "old railway sleeper" artificial. (? apparently Mars once had
trees to make rail ties?)
Seems they ran directly over the top of it, so it's not such a large
rail sleeper/tie as you'd think. However, small Mars folks shouldn't
