When we look at Mars, we see the Earth's future in 500 million-1 billion years...........a wastleland that once supported life.....thats why Mars fascinates us so much, like dinosaurs, we are glimpsing the future or ourselves in the end

sigh.........its the way of things

Religion will survive regardless. Every time that something taken for granted by religious people is disproven, they simply assimilate the new data and reinterpret the words of their bible.

What? Evolution really occurs? Well, then that's just part of God's plan. What? Dinosaurs? Well, they must have coexisted with man. What? Life on Mars? Well, God must have created life on more planets after he finished with ours.

It's on the US site now: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/0...ice/index.html

very cool news....i wonder how they went so long without noticing the water

the pic fucking rocks

omfg



:eek7

I said :winkwink:
sheeeesh.

But since you are asking, lets discuss fermectotritometry.

50 Planets with water

Spelling not your strong point? :Graucho
;)

And I knew you were messing around, I just can't help but be a smartass haha.

hmmm I wonder what the fishing is like?

im ready to move

Now we just need to find life. If there's life right a the bottom of the ocean which survives thanks to hot air vents, then there could be life on mars. I think it would answer a lot of questions about how life envolves and whether it is something that could be replicated throughout the universe.


(to be said in an electonic voice - like the old guy in the wheel chair that does science programmes)

Am i the only one that sees a face in the top right of this picture, on the fox news website?

This just in: Mars inhabited by Rock Monsters with heads the size of LA.

no but I see a huge vagina

Just to clarify whoever the hell thinks there might ACTUALLY be water on mars, there is NO water on mars at ALL.. JEsus christ people, Mars are basically no atmosphere at all, the only way water could stay on a planet with no atmoshpere would be to be frozen, and that has been confirmed in one the poles of Mars.. But don't be expecting a canyon with a flowing river in it..


What they are saying is that the canyon photographed was likely carved by water, and if so there might be evidence that life ONCE existed on mars.. But there is no way in high hell that unfrozen water, or even frozen water in mass quantities exists on the planet. In the planet maaybee, and by maybe that is a 1 in a million shot.. But not on the surface..

Yeah pretty much.. Mars ONCE had an atmosphere and the existance of ice on the pole proves that unequivocally, but running water would have long since been gone. The signs on the planet's surface of water erosion are MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of years old. It's by no means an indication that there IS running water on the planet, nor that there is currently life.

Ok answer me this dumb question.....

Ice melts and tuns to water with a temperature rise.....

Mars is a HOT planet with ice at the poles......

Surely the ice must melt or heat somewhere???? even if it's heat from volcanic events that warms the ice / water?

I thought Mars was cold

no it's HOT i'm sure???

average temp. on mars is -81.4 degrees

now we can live on Mars.

:glugglug

yes, it's some kind of alien. :)

They found oil.

But i thought it was closer to the Sun.... hay ho guess i need to watch more discovery sci-trec.

That's why Bush is so interested..:1orglaugh

I just saw on CNN that they have also found a Mc Donalds on Mars too.... damn.. they are everywhere :1orglaugh

more like 20,000 years before this planet is dust. No one cares..oil oil oil.

:(

also they can make rocket fuel from water, which would enable exploration deeper into space etc.

ewwwww :throwup ok thanks.....

Excellent!

They'll prolly want $1bil to investigate the water though

Venus is closer to the Sun. Mars is farther. Mars also doesn't have volcanoes. You need enought water to cause plate shifts, which causes lava, mountains and volcanoes. Like California is on a plate that shifts back and forth between the North America plate, which causes friction, which make lava.

What I wonder is if there have been any microprobes from earth on this stuff that we have been sending to Mars that will eventually cause life on there.

Did they happen to get a picture of the US probe while they were there? A little help please.

does this mean we can send bush ?

Drives me nuts that people don't support the Bush plan on going to Mars. :BangBang: He caved to polls and dropped in from the SOTU speech :(

Damn! Great news!

Unfortunately very true. :( Stupidity knows no bounds.

That's good news finally posted here.
