NASA's newest rover Curiosity is getting ready to leave Earth. It's destination: Gale crater on Mars. Today's story from Science@NASA explains the attraction of this Martian crater with a strangely-sculpted mountain the middle.
I wish you guys would put a REALLY nice camera on the back of one of these rovers so as they fly away from earth they could get amazing footage. realtime, high def with a perfect eye similar lens.

evidence suggests once rivers coursed and lakes did lie, and now is barren, desolate, irradiated &dry.

Notice the Blue skies, Nasa almost always produces "True Colour" photos which show it as Orange but the truth is that it would look orange during and soon after a Dust Storm but on calm days it's actually a slightly pinkish Blue.

@Planetgonenuts How does said comet get electrified in the first place, and assuming that it did, its mass is negligible compared to the planets. Why would it have any effect whatsoever?

Yes, Mars does in fact have an atmosphere. It even contains a good amount of Methane which would seem to indicate that there is some organic life, whether it be plant, animal or both on the so called "red" planet. NASA will likely continue to cover up any significant finds anyway so don't get your hopes up.

More lies from the NASA disinformation folks. The geological evidence clearly indicates massive electrodynamic forces imparted on the Martian surface via a large nearby passing electrified comet. Comets are NOT dirty snowballs. For science FACT goto:

@ChrisW12208 Wind water and time. Mars has had plenty of all three.
