Hmmmmmmm. Mars is becoming more interesting by the minute. First this "mud", then these "trees" (though they could be something as unliving as these "star dunes" as that geologist calls them). If its the former...there might be a race to Mars! :-D
Looks like more reason to go to Mars (either with rovers...or...even better...humans).
And another conspiracy for Richard C. Hoagland to chew on. :-P

Good point. Maybe it requires so little water that it gets it from the atmosphere. Like the "Air Fern" , that draws it's water from the air. Or maybe like the frogs eggs that lie dormant in dried up mud holes, possibly for years until the rain comes. Then frogs pop up out of the ground. Nature, "Life" will find away.

There must be life on Mars. Why? It looks like doggie poo.
The culprit...

FYI, heard on the news this morning that the daytime high temp on Mars is -60 below zero, nighttime low is -150 below zero.

I thought it was Di-hydrogen Oxide? Very corrosive universal solvent, combines and reacts strongly with organic metabolic systems... dangerous stuff...

We landed on the moon? What proof do you have?

I think either is likely correct in chemistry terms.
Universal solvent. Vey series. Stay back 50ft. No smoking.
To: Armed Civilian
We could throw stones, er Moon Rocks, at the theory, right.
To: Professional Engineer
Exactly, that's what my MK-ultra secret training tells me. I have moon rocks. They are right here with my secret pictures of oswald.

Everybody is making fun of Mars. This is serious!Of course it's series. I for one am enjoying the heck out of it. I'd like to visit in my lifetime. Likelyhood of that is low, but I still wanna go.
To: Professional Engineer
"I'd like to visit in my lifetime. Likelyhood of that is low, but I still wanna go." You probably won't make it...'Spider-Boy' has a chance though.

That's why I'm trying to make sure he is well grounded in science etc, very young.
I'd REALLY like to go to the Moon, but don't expect that either.
Pay It Forward works well for our kids.
To: Professional Engineer
"That's why I'm trying to make sure he is well grounded in science etc, very young." Yup, start'em young. Worked for me. My son, 'charge carrier,' (only child) has a PhD in physics and is working for a space related company in SOCAL. But, he probably won't make it to space either.
