I'm not so sure that Mars is all that hostile now.
Here is a true color image of a Martian morning. Note the clouds and sky color.

Thanks, Dog! This briefly caught my eye in the scan of the threads this a.m., but it didn't sink in...

It's hostile. We're talking average temps more than 100 degrees below zero, poisonous (carbon dioxide) atmosphere, and atmospheric pressure that is a tiny fraction of that on Earth. Also, it's a desert.
To: saganite
Nah. I don't smoke. I just have a good imagination. And why not? The fact is that astronomers have identified petrochemicals in outer space using spectometry. Those weren't likely made thru biological processes.
To: Brilliant
Well, it's not Jamaica. But it's not Pluto or Venus either. Probably at least a hundred life forms on Earth that would find Mars to be paradise.

That is true, but unfortunately, one of them isn't us. I don't see why it would be so bad to do a little planetary engineering. We can get rid of some of the potentially killer asteroids by ramming them into Mars. Ram them head on into Phobos or Diemos, and the whole ball of wax will go spiraling down onto the planet. There's nothing there to break. No fragile ecosystem. No people. No cities.
It'll give us some practice moving asteroids around and at the same time make Mars a better place to live.

I predict nothing exciting, but something mundane like:
- The MPL crash site photgraphed
- The Beagle II crash site photgraphed
- Evidence of liquid water sometime in the distant past for the thousandth time
- Meteorite may contain micro fossils
- Meteorite does NOT contain micro fossils
- Evidence of abundant subterranean ice/water for the thousandth time
- Rover makes suicide run into Victoria crater
- Global Surveyor photographed

The real scientists that Bell and Noory have on always seem to be briefed to treat all the callers as if they are intelligent and are asking intelligent questions about possible things. The exchanges can be pretty ludicrous.

Well, there's never been a good explanation about how the rover solar panels kept putting out juice and didn't get covered with dust.
Must be all them Martian types with squeegees.
We better send them some quarters pretty soon or the gig is up!!

I don't know, the theory that the high winds sweep the panels clean works for me.

He basically said he found lots of evidence of SOME PEOPLE at JPL who's sole purpose in life was to tamper and airbrush photos, and that if we knew the truth, we'd be astounded. Sooo RA are you one of the SOME PEOPLE? Admit it, the vette was a gift to buy your silence, right? ;)

They discovered that Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids?

They've finally found a buried Shadow vessel. Who gets to be the sacrificial human?
