The endless expanse of space contains all of the mysteries still unsolved by man, and it's very possible that we will never understand all of what the universe contains before our species goes extinct. That being said, looking into the stars for knowledge is something that we must continue to do: after all, the mysteries of the universe are there to be solved, and if anything, the inky black depths of space holds the answer.
That's why it's so hard to believe that 'scientists' are now urging NASA to go look at a rock that's kind of shaped like a coffin. No, seriously; instead of continuing to explore the surface of Mars, there are some that are requesting that NASA turn the probe around to take a detailed look at a strangely-shaped rock.
Mankind has a fascination with finding familiar likenesses within objects, and our discoveries throughout space are no stranger to such phenomenon. The 1976 'Face on Mars' photo and the more recent 'Shadow on the Moon' from last year are clear examples of this, and the 'Coffin on Mars' simply seems to be the latest in the trend.
Now, if someone could just Photoshop Bela Lugosi sitting up in the coffin like a Dracula from the Red Planet, that'd just be the cherry on top.
