    The rumor I've seen is that strong evidence of flowing water has been found. We'll soon see if that's right or if it's completely off base.

    Ok so will this start a great space race to mars now? Seeing how we know there is water there? Confirmed!
  • dirlettiadirlettia Member Posts: 1,632 Arc User
    Probably backed up by all the other stuff which is the same stuff they use to make Rocket fuel for the boosters.

    Latests news: no fast food restaurants on Mars.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Oddly enough, though, there are three Starbucks locations.

    I like the twitter posts about this which range from the no drinking water but at least a place to eat (showing a picture of a MacDonalds on Mars) and a post saying that the hosepipe ban stays in effect, but the one I love most is the one about Mars having more water than California.

    Ah, a repeat of the great oxygenation event from Year 2.3 Billion before Christ.

    Often forgotten today is that oxygen was not very popular at first and a majority of Earth inhabitants rejected this new life style. But as always in history, the conservative nay-sayers died out.​​

    I don't understand why we are wasting our time here then. Let's get to Mars already!
    Retired. I'm now in search for that perfect space anomaly.
