mission to mars '7 minutes of terror' 25 may 2008

Atmosphere doesn't mean air. Atmosphere refers to layers of gasses that surround a planet (or even a moon, not our though). And these gasses can be anything. Our planet is surrounded mostly by nitrogen and oxygen, that is our atmosphere. The atmosphere of mars contains mostly carbon dioxide. Our moon isn't surrounded by anything else than the vacuum of space, therefore it has no atmosphere.

would your eyes bulge like in total recall or could your try to breathe before collapsing on the rustic rocky surface next to a small rock hunh!

[akaboy4life]

i dont understand it if a planet has a atmosphere doesnt mean it has air in it? because of the rubbing against the shuttle that tries to land? on the moon it doesnt happen? weird i really need to learn about this things

[bombarderoazul]

We should build a floating platform on venus, at 50 kilometers above venus surface its practically the same as here on earth, you can even go out with only a shirt and jeans. You will only need an oxygen tank, plus venus is closer to earth than mars.

[antune502]

they should build a lander for neptune or pluto or same were around

[tookymansmom]

um no its not venus is the closest planet to the sun so we would burn up instantly

[clokwerk1945]

Mercury is closer to the sun then Venus... buy a science book.

[DarkAlex184]

You realize without proper gear like space suits completely air tight your blood would boil in space right? But I lke the idea about the platform.

[Urkinorobitch]

Mind the 225 GW magnetic storms tho

[Hammerschool]

i was on the edge of my seat just watching that.

[smartbro678]

of course not 1000 or 2000 yrs from now,anything is possible dude,and of course were not alive in that year,i think you don't know what your talking about,go get a life.

[smartbro678]

oh men,if they prove that plants can live in mars,that means we can go to mars and build houses in that planet.

[PifchoBG]

yea. maybe after 1000-2000 years, if we are still alive, stupid idiot. go back to earth

[clokwerk1945]

There are alot of sci-fi books that discuss this... would be neat if it actually worked. We'll all be dead long before though. :(
