  • it says life on mars..not alien on mars...:(

    i wanna see aliens...xP

  • EYYEEEEEEEEES??

  • @DeathUponMisanthropy I-C-E. ICE. Not EYES.

  • @ArticVulpes Geez calm your titties.

  • @DeathUponMisanthropy Lol just trying to make it clear they said ice. I thought it'd be clear since even the caption said ice!

  • @ArticVulpes I was just being sarcastic.

  • @DeathUponMisanthropy Fooled me.

  • damn, i was expecting a bowie music vid :(

  • look at the date of the video..its 2008...and now its 2011....yet no discovery...

  • @911waba None they want to realse anyway.

  • why is it so special that there is ice?I thought that was old news, mars has icecaps Oo

  • @ObeyTheKiwi this video is three years old

  • research willaim cooper...behold a pale horse...Jacen scholars...illuminati and NWO

  • its frozen carbon diocide

  • Buy your fresh poisonous Mar's water only $19.99

  • there are dams on mars that still in service !

  • Why water?????? Maybe other lifes dont need water.

  • @baudan Maybe but we know from our planet all life needs water so we search following what we know.

  • @survailkid Then I think our search its just a wasting time. We are not looking at the planets that doesnt have water, maybe they have life in any form. :D

  • NASA is hidding something and they dont want to tell us.

  • lol Nothing new. In 1980 Carl Sagan spoke about ice (water) on Mars.

  • How stupid, we have known there was water on mars since I can remember in the 50's. Why do you think we called it the polar "ice" cap? DUH !!

  • @carlsbad33ar No we didnt know ice was on mars in 50's. We just theorized there was ice there. Huge difference.

  • Many of the comments display a level of ignorance regarding science and Nasa that I find appalling. Good job America! Yes, space condos have been found on Mars! Hooray, the wifi is free!

  • watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw

  • I dont understand. NASA knows about the existence of life in universe but they appear to be amaze by the founding of ice in Mars. They lie to us all the time. I dont respect them anymore. They found structures on the Moon but they destroyed all that. Stupid human beings.

  • alot of people say that water is needed for life buuut how do u know what other species need to survive bcuz our planet is mostly water so maybe we adapted to it

  • @spivey916 yeah exactly fkn Nasa are morons. Aliens could live on dirt potentially, how the fuck wud we know.

  • Its funny - they show black/white photos when the damn thing does HD video - WTF. EU space program already has shown bridges and civilizations. But they want you to be concerned with buying garbage - because it runs a BS economy.

  • @Mark48152 "bridges and civilizations" Please link to clear photos of the "civilizations" on Mars, Thanks

  • @Mark48152 I'd like that link also, but oh wait, you don't have it.

  • Yeap..Never A Straight Answer.

    Funny but true.

    Good one.

  • LOL...we KNEW there was ice at the polar caps...so this isn't news at all...

  • MARS' ICE CREAM!

  • there is no way he could have done that on the moon and the mars idea well i could beileve that if a machine went there not humans

  • you know what this annoys me now its all fake

    how did the flag move when neiol armstrong landed when there is no air in space and if so how could they get back into earth the ozonelayer would burn them

  • "how did the flag move"

    With physics.

    "the ozonelayer would burn them "

    No, actually it wouldn't.

  • @londenerboy Let me ask you this then if the ozone layer would burn them; how do astronauts return from the satellites we have in space every year?

  • guys space is a ever lasting box lol filled with billions of planets.. dont u think at least 1 has other life on it besides earth? i mean cmon watch some futurama :p

  • dude u have some ice on the chin

  • what the hell !!! .. they don't have a live marcian on camer .... but they have a gepeto !!!! so pinocho is fucking real !!! xD peter smith 0:39 lol xD

  • gotta say... if they keep digging the will make an ocea... he melted anyway so.. i think theres heat but the ground is a bit cool

  • 0:39 he is obviously a shape shifting lizard!

  • hey, can someone tell me, how to get coordenats from google earth? i found some tire marks on marth, i want to share them, please answerd back

  • I'd like to know why health care is a cluster fuck, ppl stave to death, homelessness is abundant, why did we spend BILLIONS ! just to find ice, so the fuck what , look an exciting discovery, Ice, and it only cost an increadible fortune to find while the problems of the world are cheap to handle, just ingor em, dood jobs guys, who the fuck cares.

  • LOL we waste way more money on 1 day in the iraq war than NASA ever spent.

  • O.O omg... because if we found life in marth we can study better the climate or smthing like that and see if we can build building there lol

  • I don't think there is intelligent life on Mars, but primitive life like bacteria

  • Better chance on MARS than in Washington, DC

  • It's ridiculous, why do people think any alien species would live like us anyway, they may not even need to drink water, or even drink at all, they wouldn't even have the same organs as us or anything probably, the only reason every species on earth has relatively the same organs is because we all developed under one enviroment. Also, ice may not have even come from water, ir have formed on Mars in the first place!

  • I agree. I don't understand why nobody is questioning these scientist when they spout that nonsense. The air we breath could be deadly to Aliens just like whatever they breath IF they even need to could be deadly to us. Other planets don't have to have the same properties as earth in order to sustain life.

  • NASA is a joke and crap too.

  • N A S A

    N ever

    A

    S traight

    A nswer

  • @beneehall haaaaahhhhhhaaaaa

  • @beneehall Lol, that's cute!

  • There does not need to be water or air for life to exist elsewhere in the universe why the hell do scientist keep saying this? Our bodies have grown to adapt to this planets environment just like any other living creature in the universe adapts to there's. They may breath an entirely different gas any may not even consume liquid at all. I just think its narrow minded to think that every other planet out there has to be exactly like earth in order for life to exist.

  • why would the ice sublimate cock sucker?

  • Alien semen.

  • WHat a crap. THe ice does ot melt. It sublimates. WHich means it goes from solid to gas state. But anyways, lots of uneducated retarded God lovers out there who don't know what a sublimation is!

  • Wow I could use some of that ice to keep my drink cold for a few days longer :) . Whats with the "They haven't found iced coffee yet"? They should be looking for Mars Bars for F-ing sake :P

  • white material? maybe one of the astronauts or aliens got, horny?

  • lol

  • lmfao sure did dude lmfao, thats the damn white material lmfao

  • im sure theres so much more then their telling us, about mars, come on theirs not gonna tell us everything

  • "come on theirs not gonna tell us everything "

    Why not? The more interesting it is the more money NASA gets.

  • so you seriously believe everything their telling us?? in other words, you seriously believe everything we are told my the goverment and the news and so on?

  • "so you seriously believe everything their telling us??"

    Of course I fucking don't. What are you, brain-injured?

    The media/commerce/government complex lies about what they need to lie about to get more power, not experiments witch most don't even care about.

    Did you even read my comment or watch the video?

    Astounding

  • yea and since your in the damn goverment u fuckin know all this right, u must be the one with brain damage man, yea i know mostly lies 4 power or what not, but you'd be surprised man, and no i did not, and i don't feel like sittin here arguing witchu man so yea latter

  • "since your in the damn goverment "

    What makes you think that? Do you just say that to anyone who doesn't immediately believe everything you say without a shred of evidence?

    Believing that everyone who doesn't agree with you are organised against you may indicate a severe mental health disorder.

    If you find yourself thinking like that a lot, you're probably having paranoid delusions.

  • i think the "ice" that was mentioned was infact "ice"as in crystal meph!!!!! lol

  • aliens come from mexico lmao

    no offense im mexican!

  • Just because there's water doesn't mean there IS/WAS human life on Mars. And this 'ice' could be something we don't know. Not everything in the whole of the galaxy is on Earth. I do believe there is another life out there but it's not what people make it out to be.

    Question is. Will they find us? Or will we find them.

  • They say it is so cold on mars we can't live there but if it is so cold then how did the damn ice melt. I do not and will not believe a damn thing they say until we get full access to all information. We could probably live there now. We might have to use an oxygen tube like in a hospital and that's all. Not sure but don't believe them for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Excellent observation!!! But there are other species of humans living on Mars and more advanced and deadlier. And some are already here on earth as heads of governments.

  • "if it is so cold then how did the damn ice melt"

    It didn't, it sublimed (the same way things are freeze-dried) .

  • What? You might have to explain that a little better for me.

  • Water can sublime as well but there is still the atmospheric pressure question. That is if it is really below freezing.

  • @oldrideguy

    Your "facts" don't add up because you are undereducated in the subject or you are not working with enough information.

    Explain to me why scientists would lie about the temperature on Mars... or lie about anything else for that matter?

    Have you really convinced yourself that a team of NASA scientists collectively decided to lie about it's findings?

  • You tell me. Why is nasa censoring their finding. Not releasing all photo's when they get them, nasa workers saying they are air brushing photo's before being released, why do they have secret scrambled transmission channels? I would like to know.

  • "That is if it is really below freezing. "

    Do you have some reason to think it isn't?

  • After doing some research on the subject it would have to be dry-ice(frozen CO2) at an earth like atmospheric pressure. The air there is suppose to be mostly carbon dioxide but the size of the planet is smaller and the atmosphere is suppose to be less substantial as well. In my view either way the "facts" still do not add up.

  • "In my view either way the "facts" still do not add up. "

    Then I suspect you either aren't aware of all of the facts or you can't add up.

  • I personally believe in life on toher planets. Not so sure about life on Mars, maybe at one point, sure. But I definately do believe in life on other planets. I mean, come on. THINK ABOUT IT! It's the universe, man. It's infinite space! There has to something out there, right? To think that we're the only living things in this universe is just... Stupid, I have to say. Seriously, man, think about it.

  • Cool i want to go snowboarding on mars :)

  • They need to dig far to find answers.

  • given that almost every "blueberry" is practically a clone and seem to have what may be organelles. Is it possible that they are a silicon lifeform?

  • The thing is you can forget God, but He doesn't forget you.

  • It's easy to forget what doesn't exist.

  • Really well then when you can articulate to me how everything DOES exist, then I will listen to you tell me how all of this was ever possible, and why it isn't a whole lot of nothingness.

  • It's complicated...I'm still trying to figure it out.

    If I ever did completely ( yeah, right), I doubt I'd even be able to explain it...I can barely explain what I know now.

    If you care to truthfully listen...I'll try and share my thoughts.

  • Then why does God exist and why isn't there a whole lot of nothingness?

    The "God"-category doesn't explain anything, it simply shifts the question further into the unknown.

    The catholic church advised the physicists to examine the big bang but not to go any further, not to ask what has been before that. They know why.

  • Oh before you drag out the big bang theory and all of that, please remember to go from step one:Nothing to step 2: all of this. Not even scientists can fully explain why we aren't a whole lot of nothing. That's why most of them believe in a higher power. Hmmmm.....Oh and I in no way mean this as an insult to what you believe, I just want you to think about it. =) Everyone has a right to their opinion even if we think it's wrong. Just like you think I'm wrong.

  • Why does everything need an answer, right now???

    "Not even scientists can fully explain why we aren't a whole lot of nothing" But, yet you think you know...cos of a book that is over 2,000 years old....that also mentions horrible atrocities such as incest, genocide, and rape...

    Is that not illogical??

    And sorry, but most Scientists DON'T believe in a Higher Power. They use reason, and logic; not faith.

    And as you said before, no harm's involved....just THINK.

  • your "step one being nothing" is an assumption on your part. We have no such evidence yet.

  • Technically, "forget" isn't the word to use there.

    "It's easy to not know about what doesn't exist"

    I don't think you can forget something that never existed. To forget requires you to have known or seen before.

  • I was using it in the same context that he used it...I wasn't worried about the technicalities of it.

    "I don't think you can forget something that never existed. To forget requires you to have known or seen before." Lol, what? Have you ever FORGOTTEN where Frodo comes from?? Or, Luke Skywalker??

  • We've known that there's ice on Mars for a long time. The caps at the poles are seasonal and have been observed for over a hundred years. The question was always what was the ice made from? Water? Ammonia? Methane? Or religious beliefs that have been discarded because they didn't seem like such a good idea anymore?

  • yes but that was carbonic ice :)

  • no thanks id rather not and just be a good person and not even have a god and let live be as it is for the short time i have to live i don't need such things no one has the truth but i don't see if there was one he/she/it would be all loving and reward good people no mater what that religion if they have one and that's ture so ill just live and not be going to hell or heaven to higher plains maybe but what happens is up to me and the forces that be i guess good bye.

  • "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."-Luke 13:3

    "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..."-Psalm 14:1

  • "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."-Romans10:9

    Jesus loves you. he wants u in Heaven with him.

  • Lol.

  • i think there is more proof of past life on mars from the face and the pyramids then from water still being there.

  • russia was fuckin with america and put some ice in a hole

  • - then they made diffrent people diffrent races and then left to return in 3600 years witch will change the north and south pools to switch coursing the earth basicly go mad and ice over or just distroy the human race

  • *hairdryer*

  • The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunnaku, Ananaki and other variations) are a group of Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian deities,

    the annunaki made us we look like them they made adam and eve, made from a rib and clay they said the first human was mad in a jar, it connects to every single faith, thats wot i belive in, they come from a planet that comes arounf every 3000 years or so to came and see the gods creation, and farm for there planet the 12th planet planet X - gods Nibiru

  • i know that theory but your info is false, the planet is supposed to come every 3600 on its orbit and cross earth orbit however, in theory it collided with a planet between mars and jupiter, creating the asteroid belt, and the remains of the hit planet got accelerated into the earth orbit, including nibirus moon that is now attached to us. one fact of science is that the moon does not consist out of earth-mineral composition so the moon was not created at the same time as the earth

  • Nibiru means "Planet of the crossing" and before earth was made by nibiru smashing into us the planet was much bigger half the size of nibiru, nibiru smashed into us then we broke up the big bits of rock turned into the astroyed belt the rest became earth then the second time round they found earth and need to find a planet to mine for objects that we use today to keep there planet from failing thats why they made humans to mine they came again and found that are woman where very beautiful and -

  • well u guys are aruging about stupid shit. theres a reason why we are allowed to practice our own religion because people believe different things. theres not enought proof to say that god really existed or that he didnt. theres no proof that heaven/hell exists or if you die you get transferd to another lifeform, cause NOBODY KNOWS. so stop arguing about this stupid stuff and stop preaching ur christianity shit.

  • hell dont exist,its a made up religous thing to scare people.god does but not in the way u imagine

  • i woulds say the moon :L

  • TheNewEra10 O.O are u fucking joking with me u idiot? grow up... ITS many things we can do if its life on mars! omg.

  • what are we going to do once we find life, steal it from its home planet?? Omg, take a break from it all.

  • they found ice on mars a long time ago, theres even algie in the ice.

  • ok, if you do not believe in aliens, but you belive in the christian religion, you are an utter idiot. the thought of life on other planets just like ours is a lot more plausable then a faggett walking on water, or damn book called the bible which has been rewrittien many times. oh yea and people cant just magically appear like adam and eve. and where the fuck did god come from, come on people, think about it!

  • Finally a person i like ! :o

  • I guess ppl were verrrrrryyyyy bored..but i say im a methodist because...well...uh...i have no clue..i wish my religion could bel ike....demensionism..buuut...i­f there are aliens..what would there religion be?

  • its athiest... dont believe in any religion.

  • i know what atheist is..im just sayin like...a religion where ppl who die transfer protocols or memories or whatever to another dimension...(i made it up) but i dont really believe in it but....i was bored and that's what i think about.

  • you are the most dumbest person alive God does exist and all Christians like me know people like you are going to hell

  • shut the fuck up, you cant even form a correct sentance you dumbass. there is no proof at all to any peice of shit god. there is more proof of aliens you dumb peice of dog shit. yea i bet i will go to hell... wait thats all bullshit, fuck you, fuck god, fuck jesus, fuck adam, fuck eve, fuck christianity!!!!!!!

  • shut your mouth why are you talking you can't even spell sentence oh or do i mean sentance ....not ....i just wonder when God comes what will you do cry or say sorry to me ,God our savoir,and to all the Christians going to heaven because they worship the lord? If i were you i would start worshiping the lord now and start going to church. I am sorry for you because God is making my life great right now.And do you see i can make a full sentence

  • ok think what you want, i dont waste my time with fake thoughts of religion and all that goodstuff

  • o.k whatever your lost.

  • I'm sure if your malevolent god came down he would kill you for, maybe, working on Sunday, not stoning your disobedient children to death (if you have any and if they disobey (which is pretty much inevitable with children)), or doing the multitude of things described in the bible as an irritant to god.

    How can he just change his belief like "that". You cannot just "believe" something out of the blue. Believe in unicorns. You can't, can you? Exactly.

  • wouldnt you go to hell calling him the dumbest person alive? 8-)

  • Really no because that is not a bad word so.....................8-) and anyway that is really mean to say (not you MNP4INTBALLA)

  • Mars is NOT the Earth's nearest planetary neighboor - Venus is.

    Venus - 0.7 AU

    Earth - 1.0 AU

    Mars - 1.5 AU

  • I agree with all of you guys because if we've actually seen ufo's,aliens,bigfoot,el chupacabras etc. Why does the fucking government have to hide everything?!? The people know aliens exist not only that but whats the whole damn meaning of them hiding the fucking truth of EXTRATERRESTRIAL life!?!

  • Where is gonna be build the first space Mcdonalds , Mars or Moon?

  • i bet mars

  • well mabye a yeti lives there because his cousin bigfoot give him wrong directions...

  • I am sure you are right. The left arm of NASA does not know what the military right arms are doing !

    There is nothing wrong with governments possessing secrets, The wrong comes when secrets possess governments.

  • we have been to mars .we have bases there, god if only the world knew a portion of what and where we have been its to hard to believe...

    when you watch tv they give us hints to whats really going on out there...

    this is no joke,...

  • i agree , believe there are secrets and missions in space for many years and what governments know could scare us but i think its best they tell the public .We have a right to know the truth.

  • NASA already know about life on mars.

    this is a secret mission to spread earth virus tailor made to kill microbes and disrupt the martian food chain. after everything is dead then we can seed the planet with what ever they want.

    USDA also help on the project and it came out of the FDA budget. Obama went along with it. Most of the 700 billion

    was shifted into the project, thats why we don't see any new jobs created. congress

    knows, in closed session they approved the spending.

  • Maybe we should dig deeper... perhaps we'll find something.

    How will we dig deeper? Don't send humans to Mars yet. I suggest we send an underground nuke. How will it go underground? It'll be built like those WW2 earthquake bombs, designed to burrow deep in the ground. Once it stops, have it explode. Then we'll let the bots see if there's anything there.

    Then again, that counts as nuclear testing... and we may kill the lifeforms.

    Oh well. AT LEAST WE CAN BLOW SOMETHNG UP! :D

  • There is absolutely no dioflasm,or hint of dioflasm! So how then can they confirm "the melting of ice" ?Where is the DIOFLASM? Damn fools

  • if there was a cemical such as a gas mixed with the ice then it would be in liqiued form. the proof is our salt water freezes at a lower tempater unlike H2o plus the salt water is heavier

  • why don't they dig into the ground for about 1 mtr and look what they find

  • thats like saying lets launch a oil rig into space. really hard

  • how is that?

  • i'd rather watch paint dry then this shit

  • "Earths closest planetary neighbour"

    If we are talking about distance, Venus is closer.

  • well you land on venus then lol ;)

  • There is layer in Venuses atmosphere where the atmospheric pressure and temperature are quite Earth-like. And since carbon dioxide is denser then the nitrogen/oxygen mix we call air, air is a lifting gas. Imagine ,a balloon where you could live in the whole balloon, not just a small gondola. In fact, this layer is the most habitable place in the known universe besides Earth.

  • just having a read , venus 420 deg , as opposed to mars surface temp of mx 20 min -63 , can see why we chose mars.

  • Very nice, but the thin atmosphere means your being pummelled by radiation, and we still don't know the long term effects of low gravity. Could a mother even come to term in such conditions? Venus has .8 Earths gravity, and, at the right layer, surprisingly habitable. One thing it lacks is water. Which Mars has.

  • all food for thought ,

    just goes to show how fragile and precious our mother earth is, existing in that fine band of the solar system where its not too hot nor too cold,the right gravity ect. when it comes time to settle another planet, maybe we will have learned how to create artificial gravity and equally a lack there of. ei *tachyon drive* type devices,which will also cut the travel time down to hours , not months or yrs.

  • I don't think the travel time is exactly a problem. People during the age of sail took journeys on ships lasting months or even years, with absolutely no way of contacting home. Even from Jupiter, an email would only take a few hours to reach Earth. These future pioneers will have it darn lucky in that way at least.

  • we should see it in our time , whilst travel time to say mars wouldn't be to long a stretch .

    If we ever wanted to leave our solar system ftl travel is the only way. if we want to find sentient life elsewhere, our search has to go beyond the known universe and into the multiverse.

  • We just might, as long as we stop thinking Nuclear is bad word. While it has it's own legitimate concerns, the superior power possible would open up the solar system in a real way.

    The trouble with FTL is that, according to general relativity anyway, it plays merry hell with causality as any way for FTL means that any way of doing FTL means Time Travel, with all the delightful paradoxes that ensue.

  • dont take the ship to light speed,

    hover super cunducters within a vacuum chamber , rotate at the speed of light .

    just before s.o.l. is acheived u will hit the 10 mhz range , this will give you levitation.

    when it rotates at the speed of light , it disapears from view, vibrating into "hyperspace" or warp space.

    no need to travel at light speed, we oscilate an engine using uv photon array as the switches.

  • Nothing of mass can move at the speed of light as it would require infinite enrgy to do so. Those miles wide particle accelerators physicist use require oogles of energy just to get a few sub atomic particles within sight of it.

  • if u vibrated a ship to the speed of light , then entered hyperspace , u are in the wallspace between universes.

    if u went back to say "see the dinosaurs" it would be another dimension.

    time is destroyed , it changes to tachyons , then is reborn in other dimensions,there is no going back.

    only slipping to other realities.

    "we dont need to accelerate a ship up to the speed of light, only get the engine humming at that speed."...

    1 second in hyerspace = 299 792 458 seconds

  • If you 'vibrated a ship to the speed of light' you would be moving matter at the speed of light And by the laws of physics as we know them, that would require an infinite amount of energy. It doesn't matter what happens when you do that, the first step, vibrating the ship to light speed, is impossible. It's like saying immortality is easy, the first step is to not die.

  • heheh u say its impossible.... we already do it ...

    by using superconductive materials , vacuum sealed ceramic containment,

    and uv photon cpu as to get the switches in perfect unison .

    this engine already exists , its patented , made and in use.

    dont think of it as "vibrating" so much as spinning in a circle at light speed.

    its all about magnetic resonance and "newtons law"

    if you dont believe me , look up the patents.they are owned by british rail , telstra , oil companies.

  • I understand the individual words, but together, they are. . meaningless. As for patents, it would not surprise me if it was patented, that doesn't mean it's not utter male bovine excrement.

    Like this one. Bakes practically every physical law in the book, yet it got a patent.

    patft [.] uspto [.] gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=P­TO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=­%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum [.] htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6960975 [.] PN [.] &OS=PN/6960975&RS=PN/6960975

  • when u rev it just before the speed of light , and create its own magnetic resonance of 10 mhz , it matches the earths resonance and negates gravity.

    if u take it up to the speed of light , u slip into hyperspace where 1 second =299 792 458 seconds in the real world.

    there are plenty of experiments from universities showing these properties at work.

    the only part of the engine that is moving , is the superconducters. the rest of the craft would be stable.

  • Could you name of these universities? Who were the scientists, can you provide any links to abstracts or papers on the subject? Because, believe me I want this to be true, but what I know of science makes me leery. Hand waving 'many universities' and ' plenty of experiments'? doesn't exactly encourage me to think otherwise.

  • harvard . university of south australia, university of moscow , all these projects date back to the early 80,s

    there arent too many links online , you will have to go to library.

    let me ask you this , do we have a working scramjet engine , in a plane , using ion spikes capable of mach 27 ?

    apperently the scramjet is in its infancy .....

    read chuck yeagers bio.we have had scramjets since the 50's, though it took several laps of the earth to speed up and several to slow back down.

  • Scramjets are impractical, because for them to work you need to be moving at several times the speed of sound for them to kick in. This means a lot of dead weight from whatever you use to accelerate that fast. Also, the engineering challenges are rather difficult in and of themselves, becauseo the immesne heat and pressure they and the airframe itself is subjected to. I will look that up next time I go, thanks.

  • So, in your opinion what are our alternative solutions? Would travalling at 9/10 the speed of light be okay? And if we ever had to go much faster than light, what could we do? I am a noob on the subject and you seem to know a lot so I am asking.

  • once your engine cycle reached speed of light , it would be effectively invisible as u are in "hyperspace'

    the closer your engine cycle got to speed of light , the more photons "light particles" it would discharge, creating a corona, at the point speed of light ...or a high magnetic resonance was reached , you would slip out of regular time , and into a speed up , but "relative" alternate space.

    when u turn on a torch , then off , where do the photons go?

  • NASA has long known that the pole is dry ice.

    Why is this so shocking to the stupid News people?

  • Because it proves that there is bacteria/ other forms of life ON mars.

  • Yes it does, of course! But hear what I am saying.

    The same people looking for ice up there are the very same people that would know whether or not there are buildings and structures on the planet. Yes? or no? I think yes. So if it is true, and I stress only if, then why are they distracting you? I don't know! If there are buildings then there was life! Who cares about the search for water. Obviously there was. So josh1 X3, what's you're point with the 'are you an idiot' remark?

  • I don't think there is any evidence of life-forms that are THAT technologically advanced on mars yet, to have buildings. Even if there is a possibility of some type of small animals that once lived there, MANY people would be deeply moved.

    You can look at google-mars, they took satellite photographs of the entire planet. And the public has full access to it. They aren't "Hiding" anything from us, because there is nothing to hide.

  • Hi, I like your point. But as we know from our own history, you don't need technology to know how to work the soil and make buildings out of it. For some reason, most likely the Sun, life could no longer be sustained. Also, many photos from Mars have been altered by Nasa! This evidence is all over Youtube. Why? I don't know, but we must explore all possibilities so as not to get fooled by those that will tell you Mars is flat and you'll fall off the edge. Human history is full of lies.

  • Its big news only because while they theorized it was ice at the poles .. they could not prove it.. Now providing this is accurate and there is ice there is a potential of setting up of world stations in the future. Ice will be the source of fuel.. or Hydrogen.. Awesome stuff.. look up the LCROSS mission guys.. huge lunar missing for August or October.. should be quite a show the plume it will create.

  • If they keep pretending that finding ice might give them some clues abut life on Mars.......and then ignore the buildings and structures as proof...(without even acknowledging they exist)...who do they think they are fooling? Or is that part of the plan? Maybe one day they might find proof that there was life on earth! Wouldn't that be exciting?

  • utoobasaurus, finding ice means there must be water on mars. and everything needs water to stay alive so it will help {:

  • Bamitscathy, you missed my point. If there are buildings and structures, then obviously there was life....you don't need to waste time looking for ice....it's a scam. All they want to say is that if ice is found then there must have been life....well...if there are structures and buildings....there must have been life.
