Ever since Viking 1 beamed back the first images of the Martian surface in 1975, one thing has been abundantly clear: Mars is almost entirely made up of boring orange rocks. Everywhere, as far as the eye can see: Orangey-reddish rocks. Rocks on rocks on rocks on rocks. So many rocks. It's the kind of excruciating monotony that could make a person delusional. And that's kind of exactly what's happened: Mars's agonizing lack of things that aren't orange rocks has driven a portion of the Internet insane.

Let me explain.

For more than a decade, NASA has maintained a squadron of robot explorers on the surface of Mars:Opportunity, which landed in 2004; Spirit which was active from 2004 to 2009; and Curiosity, which landed in 2012. These billion-dollar mechanical pioneers spend their time bumbling around the rocky Martian surface snapping photos of different kinds of Martian rocks. Hundereds of rock photos. (Click here to see just how many photos Curiosity alone sends back on a single Martian day.)

And therein lies a huge cultural disconnect: Decades of science fiction promised us that Mars would be a spellbinding frontier of boundless discovery. And if there weren't Martians to be found, then at the very least, we would find the remnants of a once great Martian society! But, as it turned out, it was mostly just boring orange rocks.

Or is it?

    Those thieving Martians!!!

    I wondered what had happened to the Loch Ness Monster. It's been pinched and renamed "A Martian Lizard". Does their depravity know no bounds?
