INSIDER PHOTO PROOF: NASA's Curiosity "self portrait" EXPOSED as a FAKE!

sigh.
The arm MOVES. In some pics it was in one spot, in other pics it was in another spot. After 55 pics, there was enough images that the entire rover could be reconstructed without the arm holding the other camera visible. It isnt rocket science, nor is it unfathomable. As for people complaining that the pictures do not look stitched, it is very very easy when taking pics close together and lots of them (like 55 pics) to make a mosaic with no stitches. There would have been more than enough data for it to happen. Harder to do if you are trying to do a mosaic of a very large surface,but a small pic like this? Easy. I have seen artists make some really awesom stitched pics and you cannot see the seams. The OP here is just playing a prank, and loving all the responses he is getting. Probably wanking the whole time. This thread needs to be ignored now. I am a thread killer, and I am using my power to kill this thread!!!

OH Great.... Another fake photo from NASA.

NASA says so as well:

Well, in any event, it does prove one thing FOR SURE -

NASA is proficient with Photoshop and image editing, without a doubt!

Some of the posters around here need to get a fucking grip.

All this negative, angry karma for me over this post.

Lighten the fuck up

theres an alien head sticking out of the ground, look at the back of the rover on the left side,theres a round thing sticking up from the rover,its looks like it has duct tape on it,zoom in on the right side of the round thing but keep it in the pic,its right next to it and theres another one at the tracks of the rover furthest back you will see a dark brown track,follow the angle of that track back about 10 or 15 feet and you will see it,i also saw a hammer on the ground,you have to download the nasa pic to see them,quality

You still don't get it.

There MUST be something attached to the rover that the camera will show going away from the rover and out of the field of view. It doesn't matter how much the camera moves; It doesn't matter how many pieces the picture is made from, whether 1 or a thousand. The fact remains that there is NOTHING seen going out from the rover and out of the field of view, as must be the case when you can see the whole rover.

ONE of those sub-pictures must show the camera mount/arm, even if that shot was taken by a different camera. And if NASA edited out that shot, they need to say so. That's all I'm asking this whole time: did NASA say they 'shopped the photo or not, beyond just "stitching" pieces together?

THIS! + 10000000000

Forget it! I just found a 5463 x 7595 and the reflection in the lens is not a person, it's the robotic-arm cam. The horizon is upside down though, but I assume it's because the camera is rotated.

please take chris farley off your avatar. after this post you do not deserve to know his humor

@Keep2theCode, I think what you are trying to get across is, did jpl paste a earth-taken pic of the arm/camera and paste it onto the image. Given that the arm is always behind the camera itself, it will never been seen in its own photo's unless it is photo'd by another camera in another location.

Also, why no audio(so we're told) on any of the rovers? Giant tubes on the surface not interesting enough, but in comparison, a mountain is?
Maybe they already know all about these tubes? which means to suggest they have much more data on the planet that the rest of this planet isn't privy to.

Will we ever see THE ARM? What is it? Some very special secret ARM? Look at this picture>>>>>

Which piece exactly do you call "THE ARM"?

Thanks for that link. Yes you can see what it is clearly in that photo.

See the MAHLI? It's retracted in that photo.

But my question is how there can be any photo that doesn't show at least the base of the arm when extended, no matter how many times the MAHLI moved on its multi-jointed arm.
