Wow, big news

Why is this good news?

...

The space agencies really needed some good news after the problems with the European Beagle 2 and the American Spirit rover.

do a fucking favour for humanity, kill yourself asap.

Okay granted ...
so what if they find water on Mars... it's a planet ...big deal ...there are lots of cosmic bodies that have ice ...IOWO the asteroid ...so what?

Why is finding water such a big deal?

The world laughs at stupid American technology

Your Mars rover is crap. :1orglaugh

Two obvious main reasons:

Where water is, there might be life or may have been in the past.

Future colonization of other planets is alot easier with water available.

The real reason is - it shakes the foundations of religion on this planet - which has killed more people then all diseases put together.

And I welcome it.

Millions of Muslims thinking their religion is the only correct one.
Millions of Catholics thinking their religion is the only correct one.
Millions of ...

Have at it.
PLEASE GOD - LET US DISCOVER LIFE ON MARS - BEFORE WE DESTROY THIS PLANET.

There will be religion whether we find signs of life on Mars or not.

And just why do you think finding life on Mars will make the slightest bit of difference?

For many hundreds of years the Church taught that we were the centre of the universe. They quickly adapted when they couldn't ignore the truth any longer.

"Religion" will undergo a profound change once we prove life exists everywhere. And it does. As all evidence here on earth proves.

From the deepest hotest mines ...
from the coldest regions ...etc
life exists - even without sunlight on the ocean floors.

Do you think that "Martians" believe in "Ala" or "Jesus" or "Mary"...
or do you think that most of this planet will grow up INSTANTLY ?

The world not being flat did not kill religion.

That's probably because the Pope still hasn't got the memo yet

I agree 100%. Religion loosely defined by functional sociological standard doesn't necessarily constitute mainstream such as Muslim, Hindu, or Christianity.

Religion does not kill people - people kill people - in the name of religion.

The crusades ...
911
etc ...

Good nite ...
another time ...
have to grab sleep for work tomorrow.

Try the 'science & space' section on CNN you fucking moron!

Hell, our Beagle didn't even made it to mars alive :Graucho

Let's see some Italian Water Ice on Mars then I'll be impressed.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yeah it probably got lost somewhere in the huge secret Vatican archives ;-)

This thread deserves a bump :thumbsup

how the hell do you know that if there were other intelligent life out there, that they themselves did/do not have their own religions?

i could be wrong, but i know some people's interpretations don't necessarily rule out the idea of life on other planets in the bible. besides, why have just one planet of fun, why not create several types of life forms and see what prospers?

Geesh what a surprise. Theres trillions of stars planets etc...a person who thinks earth is the only place with life is pretty thick.

No im not talking about ufos and crap like that...but come on, if they already discover water so close to use you can already guess that theres way more out there. You dont need a big brain for that.

It's tomorrow. I'd like fries with my order. Thanks.

wow that is good news....

before you know it we'll be taking vacations there....

:Graucho

True, yours only lasted 2 weeks though lol:321GFY I think 9 out of the last 12 landers have failed because of the sand storms and stuff...

They had it on CNN this morning, but the water is in the form of ice on the southern ice cap. I believe it.. It's really not all that unbelievable, considering there is much erosion on the surface of mars that could only have been created by the flow of water. Obviously that means there WAS water there, it's not that far of a reach to think it still might be.

you people are killing me.

Nothing like listening to a bunch of half-wit white trash discuss religion and science.




























:winkwink:

Did you need a whole page for your post:ak47:

Anyway... I guess its just pure coincdence that Bush was met with tons of criticisim about wanting to go to Mars...

now viola! Water on Mars.

-- we have to go now & no more critics.

Bush always gets what he wants :)

I wonder what's really up with Mars... why does the Bush administration want to go there so badly now?

coming soon to Mars

Well anytime you'd like to challenge this half-wit to a discussion on science, I'd be more than pleased, seeing as science is one of my obsessions/hobbies/research subjects. What branch of science you interested in? :P
