Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I am Dr.Monroe, a scientist here at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Otherwise known as NASA. A very popular space agency. Twenty five years ago something very odd happened around around Mars. We had one of our spacecrafts (Viking 1) circling mars, and taking pictures of possible landing sites for another one of our spacecrafts (Viking 2). Later on, we found that Viking 1 had snapped a picture of what seemed to look like a human face. We were very excited to find out what this new finding was, but we later found out that it was just a Martian mesa. Very common around Cydonia. Only this particular mesa had very outrageuos shadows, that made it look like a face.

Though we have stated before to the world that this was just a Martian mesa, some people thought otherwise. For example, one day I was sitting at a coffe shop nearby where I worked with my labcoat on. On my labcoat, it stated my name, and in big letters, the word: NASA. Like I was saying, I was in a coffe shop nearby where I worked, and was suddenly approached by a young man in his twenties. He stood there for a while making sure that I acknowledged him. When I did finally notice him, he smiled, and said that his name was Stan. He told me that he noticed my labcoat and where I worked, and wanted to bring up the topic "The Face". I chuckled at his comment, and agreed to discuss the topic.

He sat down in the chair across from me, and we started talking. He brought up how he thought that we were hiding something to do with the face. I kindly replied that we weren't, and that we explained to all the news stories, and talkshows, that this "face", was just a simple Martian mesa. Even when I said this, he disregarded it, and continued speaking about how he thought that this picture of "the Mesa" was proof of extraterestrial life on mars. as soon as he said this I burst out with laughter. Tears were falling from my eyes, as I thought this was a joke. but, when i saw that he was serious, I immediatley stopped laughing, and apologized. i explained to him that the picture of what he thought was a face, really was just "the Martian equilavent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west". At this time he then grabbed something from out of his satchel (which i hadn't noticed before) which looked like a picture of some sort. As a took a closer look, i saw that this was actually three pictures on one page.

The pictures that he showed me were pictures of " The Face" in chronological order from 1976 to 2001. He then said to me that that it was possible for alien markings to be hidden. I peered at him with a strange face trying to figure out why this was so important to him, but i answered his question. I stated that "The Face on mars was located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98- a cloudy time of the year on the red planet". even after this was said he shook his head with a tiny smirk on his face. I then grew annoyed at him and then pointed to the third picture taken in 2001. " Do you see here?" "In image three we used a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size. If there were anything else on this landform other than rocks such as alien markings, you would've seen it already." He stared at me with a look of stupidity on his face as i then had a smirk on my face. I was proud of myself for proving him wrong.

After our little argument, he quietly got up from his seat, shook my hand, said nice to meet you, and walked out of the coffe shop. I then realized the time and walked out as well, and went back to work.

Score: 3
