Yeah, I know. I reviewed the movie for WB before its release. One of the better of the genre.

What was it that convinced Arthur C. Clark to believe in the possibility of life on Mars?

Also like the line in "Contact"..."If there is no other life out there, it sure is a waste of space"..(pp)

the worm-like glass tunnels They aren't tunnels but rods. They are water ice where the ground has eroded away leaving ice and the ice is gradually sublimating off. They would have been cracks and vents in sedimentary earth that filled with water and froze. In shape they are like tootsie rolls.

That looks just like earth which, if true, would mean Mars' inhabitability predates earth's, which makes sense.

"..."If there is no other life out there, it sure is a waste of space".. It's all life out there, but microbial rather than macrobial. Sometimes macrobial forms like us exist in the right conditions, but such conditions are rare: we are probably alone in this galaxy, possibly alone in the visible universe.

What was it that convinced Arthur C. Clark to believe in the possibility of life on Mars? some images that show large worm-like tubes or?,on different parts of the surface,also some dark small images that look like vegetation near the pole.

Those pics are strange, but the real strange thing is that the "ribs" extend further out than those channels, and seem to be partially covered with dirt as they get further away from that center.

"..."If there is no other life out there, it sure is a waste of space".. good point.
To: fishtank
For the icy crust to slide over the inner core requires the equivalent of planetary motor oil in between the exciting thing about this, if true, is that the relative motion of a fixed outer surface and a rocky interior would generate a *LOTS* of heat! if you are to support life, you will need energy and the Sun in this case is too far away...

To: chilepepper
volcanic thermal heat under the ocean!,like on earth,that`s why is so exciting.
To: green team 1999
Yes, I just wish I knew what they were.

"...It's all life out there, but microbial rather than macrobial. We are probably alone in this galaxy, possibly alone in the visible universe."....
I just can't yield to your premise and self certainty. We are only grains of sand on an infinite beach, expanding in every respect. I believe life as we know it, is larger, awesome and beyond imagination of what we know as the "visible universe."
To think otherwise...imho...suggests 'mucho' hubris. Then again, we may just be all "Bozo's on this Bus"...but, I don't think so.
