Can it get... any clearer than this?

Now, short of being referred to as a kook, does not this latest image from the Opportunity Rover clearly show wet and damp soil, with a puddle of liquid at the base of the rectangular rock?

Now, NASA has remained incredibly quiet on this. Together with the abnormal abundance of Methane, and the recent "cleaning" of the rover...one has to conclude that life does presently exist on the planet.

It is kinda cool the rovers have lasted this long. As for the cleaning of the solar panels .......

I think it is Marvin the Marsain. Him and his evil ways wanting to taunt us that we are more superior than he.

Soon he will fire his Illudium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator ... LOL

Pure speculation on my part but it can very well not be as dusty as they thought and what is blowing around is very light and can be blown off by a gentle breeze.
