    it most likely has had more colour added to allow the features to be easily seen

    Negatory... that's what it'd really look like. The reason it looks so fake is modern cameras. Remember the fuzzy old shots of mars? well now it's different... they have like... coolness and stuff

    OMG...Possibillity of life at mars has increased

    Maybe there is an alien civilization under that ice. An aquatic race! That have huge fish-like eyes and they have a General called Ackbar. And then he thinks that the innocent looking Mars Rover looking around "IS A TRAP" and launches and invasion!

    we are doomed.

    Still doesn't mean there is definately life on Mars though or that Mars can sustainably hold life such as humanoid beings.
  • MantridMantrid Lockpick Join Date: 2003-12-07 Member: 24109Members
    Well, it couldn't hold humans in its present state, no. And I doubt it ever could in the past. But if it was warmer in the past, and there was liquid water, chances are something was alive. Where theres water, there is life. All it would take was a few simple organisms, and those could have even hitched a ride on a piece of material blown off the earth.

    Wait a minute... All we need to do, is look for a three-fingered hand control panel inside one of the mountains. Hit that, and Mars will become habitable.

    I don't know if I trust Nem0 to make Mars habitable. He'll probably slap a lock on the button and laugh maniacally as he watches everyone asphyxiate, safe in his little glass dome. Bastard.
