Actually, that's pretty close to my own beliefs on the subject. (Which are influenced by one Richard C. Hoagland.) Never underestimate the ability of the shadow gov't types to sabotage anything.
But if I was an ET, I wouldn't want earthling humans out in space! No freakin' way!!! Earthling humans are arguably the most dangerous and potentially destructive life form in the galaxy.
Factually, there *are* some very strange things on Mars. We are NOT being told the truth. It's not about "being shown up." It's about keeping the lid on and maintaining the comfortable fairy tale we have all been told is human history.
Same reason technology for accessing space has barely progressed in four decades.
