There are also photographs from Mars taken from orbit showing tracks made by machines. DO you dispute that they are there as well?

I don't dispute nothing...just point me to it so I can check it out. Thanks.

to answer your question...the images are the original suspect for me. I don't know what it's supposed to show...to me this image looks digitized and therefore always subject to potential manipulation. Now I'm not claiming anything...just looking for that "beyond reasonable doubt" aha moment. These images are just...not that...as any image isn't.

indeed Rob those look like rover tracks. Now all that is needed for me is to verify the conditions of said perspectives. The atmosphere, the distance, the tech used on both occasions.

Interesting captainpudding the concern though is that back then they had already created remote vehicles.
So you could have said you had driven your car to Denver, had it's photo taken there, even set up a camera in your car to take happy snaps out the window to show the wife and the kids, while all the time your back in your city apartment playing hooky.
It goes both ways.

I find it interesting that you have come to the conclusion that NASA had / has no goal(s) in mind, especially after Apollo. Voyager I and II immediately come to mind. Let's see, they were launched in 1977 . . .
The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-35-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between stars, filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Scientists hope to learn more about this region when Voyager 2, in the “heliosheath" -- the outermost later of the heliosphere where the solar wind is slowed by the pressure of interstellar medium -- also reaches interstellar space. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network, or DSN.
The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there -- such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings -- the mission was extended. Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets. The adventurers' current mission, the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM), will explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain. And beyond. Voyager missions
And of course we have the space shuttle. It's conceptualization began in 1954 with programs like the NACA proposal submitted by Walter Dornberger.
The formal design of what became the Space Shuttle began with the "Phase A" contract design studies issued in the late 1960s. Conceptualization had begun two decades earlier, before the Apollo program of the 1960s. One of the places the concept of a spacecraft returning from space to a horizontal landing originated was within NACA, in 1954, in the form of an aeronautics research experiment later named the X-15.

NASA's goals have changed and been refocused many times throughout history due to many changes forced upon them such as budget cuts, lack of interest from the community, and so forth. However,to say they had no goals is disingenuous and a fallacy. HERE, for your enjoyment, is a list of projects and missions which NASA has produced.

Space exploration is directed outward, not in reverse..let alone 40 years .. sheesh!
It's nonsense, but you take comfort in Apollo's fable.

You're the one who seems to think they should keep going back to the moon when they've already moved on to landing on Mars, Titan, Jupiter, asteroids, comets.
Sounds like you're the one stuck in reverse.
