Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In 1976, scientists were surprised to see a rock formation, somewhat resembling a human face, on Mars. When NASA showed the picture of the interesting formation to the public with a caption describing it as a "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth," however, many people considered this a definite sign that there was life on mars, maybe even an ancient civilization that had once unhabited the red planet, but this is not true.

First off, while some skeptics and conspirac theorists believe NASA would like to hide any evidence, defenders of the NASA budget say that they wish there was an ancient civilation. More than that, NASA would have no logical reason not to inform the public of major discoveries, such as discovering life on another planet and there is no evidence to prove or explain why they would want to hide such important information.

Secondly, while some people consider the formation to be some sort of alien structure, NASA considers the "face" to be nothing more than a mesa, which is a logical thing to think considering the fact that mesas aren't uncommon on Earth either. Jim Gavin, the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, even compared the mesa on Mars to one here on Earth saying "It reminds me most of Middle Butte ine hte Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."

In conclusion, the "Face on Mars" may be interesting to look at, but the fact that some consider it to look like a human face is mere coincidence. If NASA were to discover somethhing so ground-breaking, they would probably inform the public, but the "Face on Mars" is nothing more than a mesa that could have just as easily been on Earth.
