They also failed to get Opportunity to check out the possible building on the hill

The foreground looks flat, so I guess it was probably a lake or sea, so the house was obviously the home of a Martian diplomat. As the house looks like a stubby letter 'I' so I guess his name was Imago, although with different spellings on Mars, it may have been 'Immanuel'.
It is wonderful what our imagination can do these days, with so little to go on. Perhaps with bigger telescopes we will be able to find out Immanuel's birthday and blood type. Thanks to that definite picture of his summer residence.

They did not go for a closer look so we will never know. The rovers have set goals they do not deviate, The white bit is where the sunlight is hitting the end of whatever it is, look more carefully

The point is, whatever it may look like, especially to those with filters built into their glasses, it is not distinct enough to prove anything at all.

Which is why it should have been investigated , science isn't about saying I don't believe its anything its about proving one way or the other.

Not sure resources should be expended to prove a rock outcrop is not a building (Since there are so many known buildings on Mars, right?).

COLGeek, couldn't have said it better. Do you mind if I copy that lovely stuff at the bottom? Please? Thank you! If I am not being too presumptuous.
