Nuclear Attack From Aliens Eradicated Life On Mars, Physicist Claims

7. Or

solar winds destroyed Mars’s atmosphere because Mars’s magnetosphere was, and is, too weak to protect it.

Here's an article about Dr. Brandenburg at Pharyngula:

The two faces of JE Brandenburg

“Artifacts”? “Archeological objects”? What “artifacts”? He’s talking about the Face on Mars. Seriously, it’s 2014, and a physicist is still accepting that bit of pareidolia. There’s no more talk of natural reactors. Instead, he’s claiming the Face on Mars was targeted by an alien galactic civilization for nuking. Just the fact that he’s still arguing that a lumpy eroded hill looks kinda facelike at low resolution (it doesn’t in any of the subsequent clearer photos) as evidence of a humanoid civilization on Mars tells you he’s a kook.
