Seems like the rovers should be able to find some fossils. ![]() |

If you do not mind. Perhaps you went to bed after experiencing yet another day. The day that went past was not the first one. Here on earth life has been around for the last 3,800,000,000 years. Multiply this number with 365 and you get the number of single days. 2,000 years multiplied with 365 gives 730,000 days. Add even a little more to get it correct. Which makes it some 66 generations of people supposed to be having faith from given knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropology I am busy right now and the machine is hanging again. Figure out the rest of it yourself. |

Someday, when mankind is busy turning Mars into a habitable planet, I'll bet some worker operating an excavator will find the remains of some Martian life form.

Bob, like special places in the USA, and Africa, and frozen places in Russia, it takes finding those special spots, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I really hope so. +100 :) Thanks for the picture CC. :-) |

I would like to see us terraform the planet... How? Let's start with deliberate bombardment of Mars with asteroids...especailly the ones with lots of ice on them! ;) ![]() ![]() non-profit org.

I think people are jumping to conculsions way to early over this . Neptune is one big ball of meathane and there is no life there that we know of and one of the moons of the giant planets is also covered with liquid meathane and no life there either ![]() |

Chris to teraform Mars you would need to start smashing ateroids into it just to increase it's mass and gavity and then once you finish with that you would need a few icy comets to bring enough water there .So Klik it's not so far fetched mate . Just mite take a hundred years before we can do it but it is do a bull ![]() |

I think people are jumping to conculsions way to early over this . Methane is common in the outer planets, and on Saturn's moon, Titan. Low temperatures make it far less volatile, there. It's also subject to much less destruction by solar ultraviolet light. Methane is comparatively rare in the inner planets, like Earth and Mars. Most of the methane on Earth is produced by living things. It's not unreasonable that this could be the case at Mars, too. |

MMM I all ways thought Neptune and Saturn were just gas and did not have a solid core . More like a Liquid than a solid just very dense ![]() |

But don't forget...mars got a problem with atmophere & no magnetic field! :/ NO magnetic field means: more radiation from the Space...and more frequent Solar flare atmosphere deterioration! :/ So all the water from Mars evaporated, when the atmosphere was stripped away...probably it was some Solar flare to do it... There is only one problem: how do you restart the magnetic field on Mars? Any IDEAS? (geoilogy isn't my thing) ;) ![]() ![]() non-profit org. Play4Life in Zagreb, Croatia, EU |
