I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING
No aliens?
I wonder what happened to Mars.

[QUOTE=Laferio;37866999]I wonder what happened to Mars.[/QUOTE] Let me tell you a tale, then. Once upon a time there was Mars. It was lush, filled with life. Then one species got intelligent and fucked it all up. The end.
[QUOTE=Laferio;37866999]I wonder what happened to Mars.[/QUOTE] Maybe it flourished with life while Earth was still developing, or got close to harboring life until something happened with the atmosphere.
This is highly relevant to my interests.
Does anyone know of any good documentaries about space and our solar system? This has put me in the mood.

[QUOTE=FuDy;37867529]I know some good pornos[/QUOTE] Close enough. PM them to me.
[QUOTE=TAU!;37867210]Maybe it flourished with life while Earth was still developing, or got close to harboring life until something happened with the atmosphere.[/QUOTE] There is a huge amount of evidence under the surface of mars which suggests it used to have basic lifeforms on its surface (we've even found multiple frozen lakes under the surface with bacteria in them) and had a slightly weaker variant of earths atmosphere. Scientists believe mars' core started to cool rapidly causing it's gravitation pull to weaken allowing the already thin atmosphere to get even thinner resulting in what we see now. It's only theory but it would explain a lot about mars.

Unless I'm missing something here..

Core cooling doesn't affect gravity I think, it affects the magnetic field of the planet, as the core cooled it stopped moving about and therefore stopped having a magnetic field, this meant that the atmosphere was destroyed by cosmic rays causing the planet to cool/heat up rapidly and water to evaporate and any potential life to die unless it's protected.
Maybe a big comet hit it, and sent rocks and debris and bacteria into all directions into space, and some of it hitched a ride to earth, seeding it (Bacteria can survive in space, so don't doubt it) And what would have developed on Mars, developed on earth instead. Then Mars went about its life and died/dried up when its rotation slowed down
