NASA Allegedly Changes Color On Images Released To Public
Richard C. Hoagland Claims Machinery Apparently Found at Spirit Landing Site
At right is one of the first color images released to the public. The first 3-D stereo image from the Mars Exploration Rover's navigation camera, showing only the view from the left stereo camera aboard the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, was released by NASA Jan. 6, 2004. The left and right camera images are combined to produce a 3-D image. Photograph courtesy NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Cornell University.

It shows the classic view of "Red Mars." This is apparently not what it really looks like, though (see below).

Tony's Note: I am not really sure how much stock I take in these claims, but found them interesting enough to put on my site.

Richard C. Hoagland is a former NASA science advisor during the Apollo missions, but has become a serious thorn in their side since then. You gotta love a muckraker. I certainly do.
This is a color-corrected image of what it would really look like to the human eye on the surface of Mars. Richard C. Hoagland of Enterprise Mission recently discussed the latest information about Mars. He touched on the controversy of NASA changing the color of images sent back from the planet which he said was done as a distraction to keep people from the real issue—that there are artifacts on the surface. 

Commenting on some preliminary remote sensing results that found carbonates in the Martian soil, Hoagland said this was an indication of past water, and that the Spirit Rover had landed in a "dry lakebed." He expressed surprise that NASA was asking for students to send in rocks from around the world for comparison studies, leading him to surmise that they were finding unusual compositions on Mars that had no matches.
