You know what? I was re-running some of my previous trajectory simulations for the Russian spacecraft, подводн-корабль, and it's possible crash sites. And this exact spot on Mars popped up as one of them. Very interesting.<br /><br />Lets think here for a second. There is no way the crew of the подводн-корабль could have survived off of the food storage from their space craft this long. Afterall, it's been almost 40 years since they first took off and we lost contact with them. They probably had enough food for about a month, which was the time they were suppose to spend out at sea once they re-entered from space. So the question is, if your picture indeed does hold the truth to teh crew of the подводн-корабль, and the crew did indeed set up a colony on the planet, how did they survive for so long without food?<br /><br />Well my friend, the answer is simple, Cave Foliage. Think about it, think about the Viking landers and how they confirmed the existence of Mars cave foliage decades ago. Scientists could never confirm the nutritional value of the Mars Foliage, but obviously with the evidence your pictures have given us, it must be what the подводн-корабль crew is living off of. Probably almost exclusively. <br /><br />All i can say is wow, this is really interesting. I'm completely blown away right now. I'm going to go and present this information to my personal mentor, Dr. Peter Venkman. If anyone can, he'll be able to help us degurgitate this new info. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="3">You wanna talk some jive? I'll talk some jive.
