Re: Pick axe on Mars
Thanks for the pic, Tholden. Proof positive there is life on Mars. Enlarged and also found a rock with the letter T inscribed, an old wooden power pole (top right), a fountain pen, and a nail or metal stake.

The Martian worker left it by the door of the bakery when he stepped in for some of those famous cannoli.

Re: Pick axe on Mars
The trouble is without a known scale all these zooms are meaningless.
The old 70's show UFO had a whole episode where this was the punchline and Starker was shown that despite his earlier statement that "scale does not matter - if it is a girls leg I can recognize it for what it is" he is in error, as was shown at high magnification.
We have something similar here with the pickaxe - how large is it really, given the zoom factor?
And if the scaling is correct then you could argue the whole area is a debris field...........we need a scale or this is meaningless.

You will never get a man to understand something his salary depends on him not understanding.
