The quest for scientific knowledge should not be treated as if it were a sporting contest. I don't care who discovers what, we all benefit from scientific discoveries, regardless of what nation the scientists were from.

No. They are quite small, and I imagine any pics would have to be taken late eve or early morning.

I was the first to spot water... in Mars

So that's who mailed the anthrax!!!

Unless the temp was a couple hundred degrees below zero, AND martian atmosphere was almost 100% CO2, water (ice) makes alot more sense.

95% CO2, and in the Martian Winter, -170F or colder.

Given how this debate seems to have done nothing but rage on and on and on, it seems a high school chem student would take about ten minutes to come up with a test for water or CO2. Heck, spectroscopic data during an occultation should tell us, doesn't Mars occult Regulus every once in a while?

OK, don't call me Hoagland, but zoom in on witnesstothefalls picture center top, what the heck is that thing that looks kinda like a ?missle?
