[quote=Reuter](Reuters) - Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.
"I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day.
Chavez, who also holds capitalism responsible for many of the world's problems, warned that water supplies on Earth were drying up.
"Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water.
He added that the West's attacks on Libya were about water and oil reserves.
Earlier this month, the U.S. National Research Council recommended that NASA's top priority should be a robot to help determine whether Mars ever supported life and offer insight on its geological and climatic history.
It would also be the first step in an effort to get samples from Mars back to Earth.
A NASA team recently tested a space suit in a setting with extreme conditions akin to some of those found on Mars -- an Argentine base in Antarctica -- for possible use on a visit to the Red Planet.

:wtc:
you go hugo
Is Venezuela a serious country, I mean their leader is run by a retard?
It all makes sense now.
Even though he might be a nut, if it gets more interest in space, then I'm all for it.
The only thing that would have been able to save the martians would have been communism.
But Mars is the Red Planet!

Well I'm sure Jack Daniel had something to do with this.
I was wondering what ever happened to Ole' Chavez, he's been quietly lately. Is he still saying that the US has a Earthquake Machine?
I hope there won't be a lack of life on Mars for that much longer.
I applaud his interest in space research, even if it seems based on bizarre theories.
But that makes no sense!
It's [highlight]RED[/highlight] planet!
At least he knows how tides work.
Probably.

He may or may not can tell you how they work, but he can sure as hell tell you how they'll stop working.

Chavez gives socialism a bad name.
Makes perfect sense. Too bad Lenin and Marx didn't goto mars first. Fuck you American TV capitalism, you killed the martians!

Technically drinkable water is getting rarer, yes.
