Science consultant Richard C. Hoagland discussed the latest images of the "Face on Mars." He argued that these photos further support the theory that an ancient, intelligent civilization may have built the formation, along with other possible artificial structures on Mars. Drawing parallels to ancient Egypt's intricate geometry, Hoagland referenced Ed Leedskalnin, the lone creator of Florida's Coral Castle, who managed to move incredibly heavy stone blocks by himself. Hoagland expressed strong confidence that the new Mars Odyssey photos revealed clear evidence of geometric patterns and mathematical design near the Face.
He also talked about NASA's exploration of nuclear-powered space travel, noting an administrator's view that "its application for space travel has great potential." He predicted that this technology could eventually enable spacecraft to approach the speed of light.
