The NASA spacecraft Phoenix has sent back historic first pictures of an unexplored region of Mars after its 10 month journey there. The lander is equipped with a robotic arm to dig for water-ice thought to be buried beneath the surface following its 680 mile journey from Earth. It really is a sensational achievement.
So tell me, do you believe there is life on Mars? Or has been? It’s reddish brown soil looks pretty hostile right now. And I wonder what will these findings mean for us.
In this post last year, I wrote about space exploration and described how a device made specifically for a mission to Mars could help identify the bacterium that causes TB.
It’s literally another world of scientific research. Does Mars really hold so many answers?
It’s a shame the photos didn’t catch any Daleks coming over the horizon
Looks a bit like Maspalomas
I think they would have to establish the existance of some polymer of carbon before they could realistically claim life.
The presence of water is a precondition for life as we know it, but it doesn’t per sedemonstrate life.
