EXCLUSIVE - I reveal what NASA is going to reveal about MArs

I would be very very surprised if that's it.

LOL, pretty funny thread all up, l remember the last time they made a big announcement, which people speculated was the alien one, but it turned out to be some pretty lame, it has been conclusively proven that Mars had oceans!

I agree with Claude, on this one, they found liquid on Mars surface a few years, ago, still nothing!!!

You would have to get NASA CEO's in a corner with a gun to their heads for any really big announcements!

I don't expect anything earth shattering!

Look for signs of intellect and a pulse while you're at it.


Ah, skip the intellect part. You won't know what to look for.

"Actually, I look in the mirror, looking for signs of ass soul."

Corrected

He meant "grande", as in "Nacho Bell Grande." He just fat fingered the keys.

When Claude posts we all suffer.

You must have had the ladies swooning with the vacuum cleaner, doorstep sales pitches. Urgh.

The thing about this is that it's anti the conspiracy theories that have been and are being talked about. All this stuff where people zoom in on features on the rather scant amount of photo's and info Nasa releases only to find them blurred could be them blotting out Earthly features. There being a colored sky of any sort beggars disbelief, let alone a sometimes a blue one which is a color due to the presence of oxygen. The tinting of the photo's that NASA have obviously done (no question) also I find disturbing, why? Having watched the program I scrutinized some photo's and thought, that looks exactly like an Earth sky that's been tinted.

I still would ask you to watch it if you get the chance. But here are some main points anyway. The twin rovers are about the size of powered chairs. That means to move they would need about 6 kilowatts of power to function ( I'm guessing here not having seen it in a while but the power ratio is right) The solar array on these machines are capable of producing about one and coupled with that the weaker sunlight because of the distance means they would take a long time to charge the rover but even when it did, was it enough to power it?

Next we come to the amazing gust of wind that inexplicably blew all the dust that was on the solar panels (the only source of power) of one of the Rovers and without that happening it would have died. (this explanation was well documented when announced) So, would the dust have not have come back and why did the same thing not happen to the other rover, I suppose it had experimental dust/sand repellent They produced a photo that the rover took of itself showing the panels, nooks and crannies, screw surrounds all scrupulously clean like it had just been polished. Great winds they have there to do such a thorough job.

Next you can stare in disbelief at photos of the 2 landscape's of the remote locations used to test out the rover prototypes. Reddish sandy soil, strewn rubble and hills of layered strata exactly resembling those allegedly taken on Mars. That's another thing, so much rubble and uneven surfaces to be able to land a craft on remotely without it toppling over.

What we also see is one of those photo's that a Mars pic scrutinizer has found which appear to show fossilized bones embedded in the ground and compare it with a fossil of a terrestrial seal (or something) Uncanny match.

Dare I venture, they might just not be able to do it yet?

I'm not saying that NASA is not capable of sending robot craft to flyby, orbit and and photograph other worlds. Perhaps drop a static probe even. I think in this episode (perhaps not) they scrutinized the Camera that was used to film on the moon saying that it was impossible due to the harsh temps and they would get blank footage. So they may have visited the moon but filmed and used at least some of the footage on a soundstage here for the punters.

I really hope that this is all one hundred percent bona-fide real and my head scratching is unfounded. I want it to be so as much as you do. If it turns out to be a fake or part fake though I want to know and be the first to congratulate Shane on his detection skills (if for the wrong reason)

The final question, why would they do this charade anyway?. prestige, pride, to keep funding and interest, a distraction to keep the public occupied.

One thought on that, the Earth has finite resources, the Solar System has unlimited material for mining as long as we get the transport costs down. Perhaps that's a huge factor.

Yes, Captain Janeway was on Star Trek Voyager and not Stargate Atlantis.

I said Filtration, but desalinization would be the first problem to solve.. Reverse Osmosis would be the cheap and sure way...filtering on a molecular level.

You're right about the DNA. but the very earliest living cells didn't have DNA. Unfortunately, I can't remember how DNA got started. I know it came later.....but still when all life was single cell.

You haven't mentioned time warps, higher dimensions, warp speed, worm holes, single point energy, string theory, quantum physics, perpetual motion, or eternal youth.

I almost forgot where I was.
