Water is life.

every life form in on earth needs water to survive.

the other planets in our solar system cannot sustain life because they dont have water. they are also either too hot or too cold. i highly doubt life on other planets in our galaxy or universe or anywhere else in the multiverse use some other substance like poisonous gasses to sustain life. thats only in the movies bro.

@JoeSueHayabusa1 Hey guys! Every planet in our solar system has water, but not all of them liquid. We might find liquid on Europa under the ice crust or on Mars, undersoil.

@REDTEAM22003 ..sorry, ran out of space, now where was I? ah yes. BUT, when we place all of our blind faith, trust, and LIFE in religion, then thats where religion becomes a problem. For example: horrile massacres have occured in the past based around religion.

@REDTEAM22003 You sir, are either a fool, just plain stupid, or FAR to obsessed with religion good sir. I have just about HAD IT with people like you that I have met with in the past. People who think that if it's not written in BLASTED BOOK WRITTEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, it doesn't EXIST. Science has done more crap, proven more things, done incredible thing in the past CENTURY, then religion has done in the past THOUSAND years. I can see your point, I am a christian to; but...

@JoeSueHayabusa1

our water came from outerspace bro inside bilions of meteors.unlikely Earth was the "ONE and ONLY" planet or moon bombarded by meteors with water inside as you seem to suggest. There is Water on Mars but not in liquid form, and there is water (and ice) on the moon Europa. Nevertheless, it is possible for Gliese 581 to have water. You don't know for sure whether it does or doesn't so stop making guesses and presenting it as fact. Only scientists are allowed to do that LOL

the problem is if that planet has a colonization like us we are aliens to them and they are aliens to us! the nasa sent a message from that planet if they receive i don't know if they understand our language or accept that message that message that give nasa to that planet was approximately receive in the year 2029 we don't know if earth still alive that time, better to work faster and make a ship that travel speed of light to get there to know some knowledge to that planet em i right!

wow

@PivotXL1 are you joking with me right now? dragons with humans? you been playing too much games. bottom line is: Jesus said nothing about Mars and nothing about water elsewhere. The stars in the sky will fall down on earth to burn people that dont believe in god. plz go to your nears church and give them 10% of your income to be save. There will be a room for you in heaven, trust me.
