Red flag = “new science”
dreaming at large
like butter in an english muffin?
The Andromeda ate it.
I’m always impressed by “science” articles that liberally use words like “could” and “might”. I guess the mad scramble for grant money means that these research groups have to constantly bombard the blogoverse with creative claptrap. It’s sad to see astronomy going the same route as medicine with the din of smart sounding horse-puckey.
At one time eugenics was “settled science”. “Brain chemical imbalance” is another example of senseless pseudo-scientific creative imagination. All you have to do is put a PhD behind the name and the media will print anything, no matter how obviously stupid.
Hmmm... water drains into the soil. What a bizarre theory!
Well, Matt Damon didn’t find any water when he was abandoned there! (Very entertaining movie, I thought: Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” (2015)
The Mars atmosphere is 96% co2. Why isn’t it experiencing runaway global warming?
Golly, another theory.
We need to figure out how to disrupt gravity and amplify gravity.
If we can disrupt gravity betwen the sun and Venus, Venus will leave orbit in a straight line. If we time it right we should be able to colide it into Mars making an Earth sized planet.
If we can amplify gravity between the sun and Mars, we should be able to move the orbit of Marvenus closer in. After it cools off some from the collision, of course.
We can then amplify the gravity between Mars and ice comets in the Oort cloud. Probably using Neptune first to get them started. Providing Mars additional water and atmosphere.
Venus doesn’t have a magnetosphere either, but solar radiation ionizes venus’s upper atmosphere, making an ionosphere, which gives it some protection. So I think an artificial ionosphere is in order.
Plus the two skills at gravity manipulation would allow us to make adjustments at will. Not only would be be able to adjust the orbit of the new Marvenus planet. But we could move Earth further from the sun as it expands before becoming a Supernova. And lots of practical uses here at home from launching rockets, maintaining the orbits of existing satellites, lifting the stars of my 600 lb life, hover boards, hover trikes, hover amphibious assault vehicles, etc.
The sun getting hotter due to sun spots would also impact Mars as well.
So are we going to drill??
Water being trapped in minerals can mean very different things. They described it in surface minerals. But on Earth a vast amount of water exists in the crust, at from 326 to 410 miles of depth, bound up in a mineral called Ringwoodite.

It is estimated to have between two and three times the water as in all our oceans.
