Buzz Aldrin: Monolith on Mars Moon

[P(D)enny La(i)ne]

Buzz Aldrin:

"We should visit the moon of Mars. There's a monolith there, a very unusual structure on this little potato shaped object that goes around Mars once every seven hours."

Huh, what??

[mumrikusstarr]

I think Buzz Aldrin is getting a little kooky with the years

[Paul Bearer]

I think maybe he was joking?

You know those conversations that happen between father and son, or grandfather and grandson...

"You kids are lucky, back in my day, we had to sit around and listen to Buck Rogers on the radio by an oil lamp, or we had to shovel coal into our furnace, or we had to walk to school a mile in the snow, etc..."

Pretty soon, parents and grand-parents are going to have a 'one up' on their kids, i.e.

'Back in my day, we sent a man to the moon with a pocket calculator, some tin foil and an erector set.'

'That's cool pop, in our day, we don't even go to the moon.'

The term 'monolith' can refer to a natural geological feature.

Apparently something was spotted in the Mars Global Surveyor pictures, but it was on Phobos, not on Mars, and was photographed by HiRISE in March 2008. There is something sticking out.
