Interesting.

Intriguing on a purely academic level, but worthless in terms of practicality. It's nice that scientists have found evidence that there was once a lake on Mars at some point in the past, but who gives a flying flock?

Becuase that face on Mars years ago could have been put there. Water on means that there could have been life there at one point of time. And don't discount my post becuase I'm drinking right now!

We already know that there is water ice on Mars, and we also have some evidence that there has been water flowing on its surface at some point in the past. It would be cool if this were to add to that

One shouldn't off-handedly presume something's potential for practicality rests at 0.

you meant "hill", right?

Yeah but rain could have washed it away!


You know, to be comic geeks you guys are not having much of a imagination.

Touche.

Well I certainly can't conceive how this information could be useful to Earth or the human race in the future.

Well if theories prove correct, then the water is all under ground, kind of like in caves, making it possible for it to be habitable in the future or for terriforming.........or however you spell it.

Not enough water on mars for me to live there . I like going to the beach .

Why are we still looking for anything on Mars? With the exception of Total Recall has there been any movie based on Mars that didn't suck?

Everyone knows life on Mars is ....... Totally gay

Red Planet was good
Mission to Mars sucked
Ghosts of Mars was meh

Why are we still looking for anything on Mars?

1.) Mars has evidence of once having liquid water on the surface

2.) Where there is liquid water there is the capacity for life to arise.

3.) Mars has water ice on and below its surface

4.) Mars is only slightly outside the "habitable" region of space around our sun (at least for the kind of life we understand)

If we can find evidence of life on Mars, then the likelihood of life existing elsewhere increases astronomically.

For these very reason scientists are also interested in eventually searching Titan and Europa more thoroughly.

Other than Mars, what does that have to do with this?

I was going to say something rude here, but I'm not going to make assumptions based on what I've seen from you in the past so I'm just going to say my post wasn't meant to be taken seriously, and leave it at that.

Stay classy

until they find fossils of dead martians, I refuse to believe there was ever once life on the planet.

In hindsight, we need to get our asses on that planet and start digging

Mission to Mars with Gary Sinise was pretty good.

Liquid ice? The hell you say!

Single-celled organisms no longer count as life? Damn. Somebody should tell microbiologists that they're fake biologists. I'm looking at you, Colossal Spoons.

 

[Maximus One]

Is it wrong that Ive looked pretty much every mars movie stated in this thread? The only ones that really sucked are the Sci/Fi original ones

hell no they don't

doesn't count unless they're AT LEAST 4 ft. tall with arms, legs, torso and head

What if they find the skeleton of a bipedal Martian that was only 3 feet tall?

ok, torso, head and no smaller than a human midget
