Well, having just watched the whole presentation from our good and learned friend Mr. Hoagland, the premise of which being that we came from Mars after Mars was rendered uninhabitable in an Interplanetary war, and that the Elite are trying to discover the secrets of this ancient Martian civilisation to use for their own ends, I must say that there's a lot of food for thought there, for sure. For those who haven't seen it, i can thoroughly recommend it. Make sure you see it through right to the end. There's a bit right at the end that'll surely bring a tear to the eye.

I started watching it last night, but I had a long day and was quite tired and my patience was non-existant.
I didn't get more than a few minutes into it and Hoagland started talking about that face on Mars he won't give up on.
I'm afraid I had to curse and turn it off.
I will give it another try, maybe later today, when my "fringie" mood kicks in!

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.
This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
