Well, IMHO, Hoagland is not a nut case. He is a clever cynical expert in public relations, who has made a nice living on the credibility of others. He has found a constituency who wants to believe in life-on-Mars, and thinks that anyone who disagrees is part of the Vast Government Conspiracy.

Dear Mr. X, The Meteorite List did not denominate Mr. Hoagland as a nutcase. I, the original poster of the inquiry was the one that did that. Although, in fairness, it seems to have offended no one but a true believer. As to why, I think the List has given good reasons. It is true that

Was Galileo a nutcase? No. I've never seen any references where Galileo was referred to as a nutcase. He was persecuted by the Church because he had different views from the Church, but it was not because he was a nutcase. Incidently, unlike Hoagland, Galileo has always been supported by

Kevin, All: The Hydrologic cycle of Mars is not well-understood - that's a major focus of continuing research. To venture a guess, I'd say that the tube formation has something to do with frost and some poorly understood sublimation process. I know that's like blaming everything we don't

Perhaps a more appropriate threshold question is: Are they tubes, or something else (less remarkable) that just resembles tubes in this view? Mark the original question still remains. What the heck are those tubes on Mars? I don't care who pointed them out first. Kevin Kichinka
