Comments on: Where has the BA book been, Part V http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/12/20/where-has-the-ba-book-been-part-v/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

From all the pictures that have been sent back, we know that the Martians figure out where our cameras are going and tidy up the place before they get there. No self-respecting Martian wants a visiting Earthling to think they have a messy planet. Phil, how could you make such a mistake thinking that Jacumba, California, is Mars?

RCH says alot about Mars. RCH is from Mars. Ergo, RCH is living proof that there is no intelligent life on Mars. Michelle: Yes RCH does say that Mars has a simply astounding blue sky.

Couldn't be. The angle of repose on those rubble piles is too shallow. Also, the human in the photo doesn't have his eyes bugging out until they pop (hey, I saw "Total Recall"!). - Jack The BA says: “This time, it’s Mars!”
