Wouldn't that be some shit?! Curiosity finds an old foundation while poking around some old rocks :^D

it would be great. if it finds a building (if the US released that info) would really fuck up a lot of peoples beliefs.

They have directory listing enabled on the site and I was able to dig down to an images directory and find one of the missing image sections:

Who cares about beliefs - it would be a huge boom to the world economy because every 1st world country would be racing to setup research colonies on Mars.

Those arn't blanked out as stated, but there is one pic where they actually did black out a small section of the rover itself. I wonder what that one was about. My guess is it had a serial number or some other info they don't want to make public, though it's odd it would be visible at all on the rover as I'm sure it was seen by lot of people before it went up in space.

I wonder if the rover has guns on it. You know, just in case. :p

Or maybe they're hiding a piece of evidence that Canada landed on Mars first and already started establishing critical infrastructure.

It's the IPv6 IP, don't want hackers finding it. :O
