It's painfully obvious that Mars once hosted life of some sort. Literally can't wait for a manned mission, if it ever happens. Excited at the prospect of discovering significant evidence of past life, especially to see the looks on the faces of the God squad.

Well, Science can be a bit disappointing at times.. See how we use "the power of the atom".. We cook friggin water with it and blow the steam through plain old turbines..

But on the other hand, imagine doing it yourself.. Bringing a thing to another planet with a connection thats "only" light speed.. Thinking about all probabilities before, programming the software, building the devices.. These guys really do something extraordinary.

@MrYonomequejo It is from Jean-Michel-Jarre a French musican.

[MrYonomequejo]

the background music is kind of creepy!

[LuciferianDemon]

dude your fuking dumb

[DWyclif]

have they tried pouring a tank of water or even sea water on mars?

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

@gxcope Cant, the core and magnetosphere has shut down

[SASNIGHTCRAWLER]

Facts are this..Water exists and had done in vast quantities. The core has failed and thus the magnetosphere that keeps the the highly charged solar particles from stripping away the atmosphere, has failed also. If there wasn't life on Mars with all that water about, i would be very surprised. Beagle 2 thats main mission was to drill into rocks and do on board testing to ind out if any life ever existed some how failed, what a suprise Mr NASA. OH WE CANT SAY WE CAME FROM MARS..Bloody religion!

[gxcope]

If the ice caps at the north pole of the planet could be melted somehow...The channels could fill with water again and get the ball rolling.

The "news" from Mars is that there ain't no news, mojo.

[rockstone20101]

does anyone think that mars was like earth? i mean it is tilted the same, the same weather changes happen then. also ther is water/ice its just a little cold and is full of CO2. maybe something happened here
