Elon Musk wants to investigate ‘mysterious’ square structure on Mars
The structure was first spotted by NASA.

A mysterious square structure has been spotted on Mars - and Elon Musk wants to visit it.
The incredible geometric shape - estimated to be 3km wide - was first spotted by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor's Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) several years ago.
But, thanks to the SpaceX owner's friend, podcaster Joe Rogan, the spectacle has been brought to wider attention.
Reacting to the scientific images posted by another X user, Rogan commented: "This is fucking WILD."
Elon replied: "We should send astronauts to Mars to investigate!"
Some social media users suggest otherworldly intelligence created the spectacle.
Comments included "This structure is identical to the Great Pyramid of Giza in many aspects, "Nothing in nature creates straight lines. Someone made that," and "Who wants to bet there used to be life on Mars?"
While others disputed that there is any mystery to the formations.
X user 'rebas' wrote: "Natural geological fracturing can cause right angles like that. It's not amazing to search an entire planet and find one or two. Amazing would be finding so many its approaching a statistical impossibility."
