The Face. It is a natural landform. We know this because if we look at the picture from 2001 the face looks more like a hill than a face. However from the picture in paragraph five we can see a rock that sort of looks like the top part of a torso. Which could suggest that this is some mutalated giant. which indeed coul...

Many have claimed that the human face found on Mars is an alien artifact, but how certain are they. According to NASA, the Face on Mars is just a rock formation that resembles the face of a human, but others may disagree. I believe that the Face found on Mars is just a natural landform.

I agree that Venus would be a worthy pursuit even with dangours risk it may have because nobody has ever been to Venus and they could be the first ever to do so.The text states that " (NASA) has one particlary compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.

This is very challenging to the people who want to make venus a place we can call home.

Driverless Cars is good way to help a driver when they are tired and they can take a break from the stairing wheel.

Driverless cars are coming to every day lives. We have to accept the fact that we as a nation are advancing in every way possible. I think the idea of having a autonomous car is mental.

Unmasking the Face The face on Mars was really not a face on mars. Some people say it is a face but I believe it is just a formation on the planet.

Driverless cars seem very intriguing to have in the world. The thought of not having to drive when you do not feel like it.

I'm personally not for the self driving cars because i dont think they would be as safe as what the creators say they are and many things can happen as the car is driving itself.

I think driverless cars will be a good invention for the future. I don't think we will have to pass a driver's test to get to drive one.
