Mars lander has found ICE! Let the Raping of the universe begin!
 

Let the colonization of space begin!

Like locusts we shall take over the entire universe.....muahahaha :winkwink:

woohoo! I call dibs on the ocean front property.

wow wee, so this billion dollar machine isn't sure if it's ice or not? what a piece of shit it must be that it can't even be sure about some frozen water.

it has a device on it that will dig it up & heat it

then it will be sure..

Probably just soil that glassed over from the direct heat of the 12 retro rockets. :)

this could be very cool

Condos on mars.

Is pessimism a personality trait of yours....or did it come with your age? :pimp

very cool...interesting about the salt...way more salt on mars i guess

Yeah really cool stuff! So far it's looking like they expected. Hopefully that ice has trapped some ancient micro critters. They find all kinds of shit in the deep ice on earth, who knows what could be up there.

Martians do get thirsty apparently

Was just the first thing that came to mind when they said it showed up right under the rockets. Would be funny I think.

Anyway, it would be cool if it was ice and showed life forms in it. I would be able to show my parents that I wasn't lying when I told them my Martian friend did it.

Showing life will be difficult and just a theory yet still. All samples will be burnt in one of the five (if I recall) on board heaters. It could show carbons and stuff which could indicate life but no 100% definitive answers.

I wish we could send our Commander Bush to meet with the Alien leaders and teach them our ways of peace and hope

i hope to one day find extra terrestrial lifeforms....


and fuck them...

who says we havnt already?

i would like to believe that pussy originally came from mars rather than from a rib bone....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

We've had pictures of the Mars polar ice caps for years... where the fuck you been lol...

And they have recently melted, it ain't just Earth going through changes right now, our whole solar system is swinging into a huge energy field.

But y'all don't wanna be bothered with important shit like that, better go check the Yankees' score or what Paris Hilton is up to...

What are we going to do?

Fit retro-rockets on one side of the earth & fire them at intervals to move away from the sun?

Sun is getting brighter, but that ain't the problem.

We are swinging through a field of energy that has to do with consciousness. I don't even really understand it... but it's coming soon...

yea I've read stuff like that before.... 11:11 & all

we shall see.....lets hope its not collective consciousness

We are counting on you.

Do your research old man, plenty of scientific journals have posted shit about how the solar system is changing as a whole...

Global warming is NOT caused entirely by us... every planet is going through changes right now. I won't delve into the theories about why exactly this is happening, but it's some crazy shit. Even Stephen Hawking reversed his theory on black holes, saying instead of sucking shit up, they are "emitting information."

The CFR stooges like Al Gore just wanna tax everything and tell you how many kids to have...

Just sit back and watch (as if you do anything other than that).

If it turns out to be water, this will breathe a much needed new life into NASA. Future mission possibilities become interesting again, and are endless if it means we can send humans there. It really is the best thing to happen to NASA since landing on the moon.

It's most likely METHANE....

That's what the poles consisted of...

already taken :winkwink:

It's not even water.

It's a buried station from the dharma initiative.

Um I would like you to delve into your theories. Specially when you got the Hawking/Preskill bet that Hawkings conceded on in regards to the black hole information paradox. Hawking always said black holes emit radiation. Issue at hand was if there was still information in the emissions or not. Hawking bet that a black hole emits radiation and it slowly looses its mass until it is gone. Preskill felt that the black hole still emitted information. Turns out Hawking conceded and agrees that black holes just mangle the information and the mass itself is returned to the universe.

so hawking now thinks blackholes are kind of like a recycle bin with encryption?

the "mass" or "storage space" is not deleted into infinity....its simply mangled & returned in full?

i can't wait until computers get into the "organic + optical" phase.....self repairing/healing etc.

then "the matrix" will take on a whole new meaning :pimp

Yup it is gobbled, chewed, then spit out in a totally unrecognizable format and not spit into some alternate universe or something. It does not undo quantum physics and thus no more black hole information paradox.

Assuming climate issues, Earth issues, or intergalactic ones do not take us out. Right next to a full on nuke battle, the most likely culprit that will be our downfall are computers. However they are rising up the list more and more. As it stands we want to be able to take the joy stick out of soldiers hands as soon as possible. Once a computer gets any real intellectual thought processes I along with many others feel we are fucked. Oh well though as it will happen.

assuming computers become intelligent to the point of "creative"....generating its own video...its own code...completely artificially intelligent

who's to say we're not already hooked up to one....taking a vacation?

or enslaved to one.....

or ONE ourselves & just don't realize it

seems to me the possibilities are endless & equally frightening :2 cents:

very interesting...

I'm selling Moon Pies

;

well, in fact, it has been designed to find oil ... but start by saying water, then liberate martian life, exterminate Al-Quaeda ,then install a democracy .....

So they have basically found ....Canada. LOL

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

now thats a far vacation

You're not the only one. I saw the spots and had to wonder if that was it. I don't know the properties of the sand/dirt there but it seemed to me that was more likely.

If there is ice directly below the surface (+/-5ft) ... I dunno. I am not a scientist by any means.

I like to play one on GFY. I always wanted to be one when I was a kid.

U Fuck Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




:)

A few weeks ago we had one of the leading guys in from the Rutherford Centre, and when the conversation swung off on a tangent (we were all a bit star struck as he was telling us how many billions of euros and dollars he had personally blown to smithereens in failed launches) the topic of global warming came up.

He laughed and said "All the people who think we're causing global warming are the people who have never walked through these doors [we're in the universities astrophysics dpt.]. The earths been hot, its going to get hot again, and this will carry on getting hot then cold for as long as our sun continues to have its solar cycles, 2 of which happen to be coinciding right now. So go out, each buy 2 cars and burn as much oil as you can while you've still got it."

Enlightened me to the community I'm studying to join :)
