This picture of Mars and the jelly donut rock looks nothing like I would expect a planet that has been geologically dead for billions of years. The rocks, many sharp edges, look recently shattered. The debris looks recently deposited.

I wonder how much taxpayers paid to have somebody realize the human body isn't adapted for space travel.

Some guy characterized as a quack files suit against NASA to compel NASA to study the jelly donut "rock" further.

""The refusal to take close up photos from various angles, the refusal to take microscopicimages of the specimen, the refusal to release high resolution photos, is inexplicable, recklessly negligent, and bizarre," according to the suit."

I complete agree with that. This is far and away the most exciting find on Mars ever. NASA should devote all of Opportunity's resources to studying it. It makes no sense that they don't. Maybe the petition mentions that the shape of the donut curiously matches the shape of the markings on the ground it lays on, but the article doesn't.

20 percent of human genome comes from Neanderthals.
