We could get a petition to drink some bone soup, can we also get one to drink martian juice
The chances of anything man-like on Mars are a million to one.
We kinda knew this for a while considering there is flowing water on the surface of the planet (intermittently).
Problem is, these stupid science bitches can't even make mars more habitual.
Space race 2020 lets fucking get our asses out there.
Habitable*
You will never understand my level of comedic genius, young one.
The flowing water wasn't water, it was sand that flowed like rivers during the changes in the season.
Caused by the unfreezing and freezing of the flowing waters below?
Caused by wind patterns like we have here and dust avalanches.

There was theories of maybe the water freezing and melting would be causing it, but there is no running water on mars so far.
Get me a bottle of that water pls, I want to try it out and taste what it's like.
Oh sweet, missed this, cheers.
Yes we can it just involves us stripping the planet bare to build air conditioned, sterile, safe and frickin' sweet colony ships.
In all seriousness, I really hope they mange this soon before things start going to shit here on earth (soon by the sounds of things).
I really wish I was specialized in a way that would be useful in the mission, I really think I would give my life (or at least decades military length terms of service, which I think is gonna be the most likely case) and go there, knowing it's a desolate deathtrap. What a wonderful expedition.
This is gonna be like that one Dr. Who episode with the water aliens.
If life 'found a way' in that ocean (more like aquafer/wet rock layer, if anything. so think 'rock eating microbes') then panspermia from mars becomes far more likely.
As unlikely as it is, it's certainly one of the coolest possibilities.
Hope we are around for some deep mars digs, gonna need some boots on the ground for that.
If you drank this water, it would be the saltiest thing you would have ever drank.
Isn't this how Andromeda Strain starts?
Now we need a drill drone that lands at the poles, drills down and then turns into a submarine.
Should leave like a anchor at the top so it can send video or so back.
Whilst one of the hypotheses for certain surface features was that there is sometimes flowing water, that was debunked a while ago. It certainly doesn't mean that there was never surface water - in fact, there almost certainly was - it just means that there are often multiple explanations for these things and the news media can get carried away.
Mars actually has oxygen in its atmosphere. There's barely any at all, and its atmosphere is less than 1% the density of our own due to its small mass meaning it has lost energy and matter more quickly than Earth, but oxygen on Mars could possibly be explained by life processes, as oxygen is so reactive that it needs to be constantly topped up. AFAIK, we know of no natural processes driving this creation of oxygen right now.
I do caution everybody to not get too excited, as anybody who remembers this picture of a possible fossilised microbe will know:

We never could confirm whether this was a random chance or something that was once living, and this picture was taken of a Mars rock found on Earth.
I don't want to make this story sound anything but amazing, especially since I'm a big space geek and love the idea of life existing - I just want to caution people to not assume that there's life there yet, especially as Europa is arguably more conducive to life at the moment due to a combination of heat caused by Jovial tidal forces and far more water.
Bah I don't care, I'd still try it.
I don't know about anyone else, but I want to suck mars.
Thank god for that, it would mean I'd suffered even more catastrophic brain damage than I've already got.
Life is one that does it exceedingly efficient. Intense UV radiation also can split up carbon dioxide into carbon oxide and bioxide if i remember my early schooling life. The problem is it takes a lot of energy to do but the sun is capable, just in small amounts.
It's always strange seeing someone act so bitchy with outdated info. It's like do you tell him that the flowing 'water' on mars was determined to be sand flow? How would he take it.
What do you mean bitchy?
There were "inverted" river formations, where it looks like a river from above but its sorta sticking up. You can see this on earth where there was a river long ago, over times it dries and flows causing the earth below to have salts in it making it more solid. Then once the eventually stops flowing, it gets eroded but the salty earth erodes slower than the earth round it.
Peeps see that stuff on mars and speculate its caused by the same thing.

Obv just a theory but ye
That was the theory that was disproved in my article.
Oh im not saying its impossible there was water on mars at one point, Just right now there isn't. There's tons of evidence showing water flowed at one point in it's history.
Yeah. There have been a few other cases where it has appeared that water has flowed from certain points in mountain ranges also, I was previously aware that this was sand but I wasn't aware that the salty brine was updated. Again, my thanks for the correction.
