   Well, THAT will certainly give NASA a negative attitude toward Martian life forms (if the Viking is still working).

   NASA needs to have a attitude adjustment.

   Does that prove that there is or is not intelligent life on Mars?

   I think Viking’s cameras would’ve been a bit slow to deal with that. Whatever image would’ve shown up would’ve been even stranger than our heroes imagine. :)

    I guess it’s fortunate they haven’t been in front of any cameras while on Earth… their images would have been broadcast across the country on the evening news!

    Wherever they are or whatever they’re doing, the underlying factor in it all is that there is a little bit of C&H in all of us.

    who hasn’t done something like that, intentionaly or not?With cameras everywhere it’s likely you’ve done something funny or embarrasing thats been seen on camera.

    Sorry, Calvin & Hobbes! The Viking I and II missions ended in the early 1980s. The last transmission from Viking I was August 11, 1982. See

    http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/missiondetails.cfm?mission=Viking

    The boys had a good laugh but that was all. NASA still wouldn’t know that they’re there unless they stumbled upon a more recent Mars mission like Pathfinder (‘97) or the twin Mars Exploration Rovers (MER; landed in 2004). Calvin & Hobbes apparently either landed near Chryse Planitia or Utopia Planitia depending upon which Viking lander they found. Gusev Crater (MER Spirit) or Meridiani Planum (MER Opportunity) to find another active Mars lander mission that has cameras and that would take years. The boys also were making weird noises but there are no barometric transducers (microphones) on the rovers so that would be for naught also.

    treBsdrawkcaB said, 16 days ago

    TYPO: They boys would have to walk to Gusev Crater or Meridiani Planum from where they are to get to the MER rovers and that could take years.

    p.s. Their antics remind me of the time they put their behinds in wet cement in an attempt to get the same sort of response from someone but that time it came with adverse consequences.

    This is all based on Calvin’s imagination so the actual facts don’t count.

    Who wouldn’t love to do that? Most people get crazy goofy around video cameras.

    My son and I did something like that when they first put the widescreen tv surveillance camera screen in one of the Cumberland Farms. It’s right behind the girls when you go up to the counter to check out. My friend from school was manager at the time and we did it for her since they said she was in the office. She came out hysterical and said you both are crazy! Good times! Good times!
