The "Mars Rover" experienced a dust storm in the southwest .. er .. I mean 'Martian' planet, recently. Any thoughts?

It's so hard to fake landings on other planets or Earth's moon that NASA just did a moon landing instead of bothering with it.

I have yet to see any proof the Moon landings or planetary missions were staged or faked. Oh, clueless, gullible idiots offer up lots of their ideas why it was a hoax, but their moronic notions don't hold up under scientific scrutiny. To date no one has offered any irrefutable proof it was a hoax.
So, why would a rover on the surface of the planet of mars experience a dust storm when there is air and dust? Imagine that, a place with dust and air having the dust blow around in a storm. See, even though Mars doesn't have an atmosphere that can support human life, it still has air and an atmosphere. I can put you into a room that you would agree is full of air, but if that air doesn't have any oxygen in it, you'll die. You would still feel wind in that room if a fan was turned on. You would still see dust blowing around. So, the room would have an atmosphere, just not one you'd want to be in unprotected.

Well that is a new conspiracy theory I never heard before! All the other hoax charges have been aimed at manned missions before; usually Apollo.
By the way, why would they fake failures in so many cases? And why would the Russians have faked failures for all their missions? And why would the British have faked a failure of their only attempt so far? If I was going to fake a Mars mission, I would make it look successful. And if I was going to fake the failure of Mars Climate Orbiter, I would pick a less embarrassing failure mode than a mix up between metric and imperial units.

They faked the Collumbia disaster too - they just shot a bottle rocket over Texas and dropped a bunch of toxic debris out of a black hellicopter.
I saw the strings holding up the Space Shuttle when I was in Florida.
For special effects of the Moon's surface circa that era, see 2001 space odyssey.... Then compare to the real McCoy.
And u think the robots are fake too? They don't have to worry about the ultradose of radiation that would vaporize a blue whale instantly in the Van Allen belts, so why couldn't they make it?
I think you need to take off that tinfoil hat and air out the ol' brain cavaty - it's full of junk.
No, the Van Allen Belts aren't impassible using the CSM/LEM, and yes, the photos and videos are consistent w/ factual data, and no the 'anomalies' aren't anomalous at all if u actually understand photography.

Message to Zerobyte: claiming the Columbia disaster was staged is completely disrespectful to the men and women who lost their lives and is utterly reprehensible. Just as saying 9/11 was a conspiracy from our government.

There is no possible gain from faking a landing.

NASA never faked any landings. ALL People who believe that are stupid. Just because you are too dumb to figure out how to do it, doesnt mean that people with real brains cant do it.
