yeah we will go there and end up finding germs in the ice, bring them back to earth and probably kill off half the population. But hell who knows, the cure for cancer could be hidden in the ice. Interesting none the less

I would find it interesting if they found no life at all. Planet that size with water, you would think you would find something.

Porn is a sure thing. Porn never gets a headache. Porn never decides its a bad idea when you already have the condom on.

Hell, now that I think about it, porn doesn't even want you to wear a condom.

What's really needed for life? Simple proteins and amino acids, and a medium for them to freely move about. Water (more specifically, ice) happened to be ours.

Elemental life is Earth wind fire water.. Theres supposed to be a mild atmosphere there as well as water.. maybe billions of years ago there was life on there when the sun was brighter.. Mars would be our only planet with the highest chance of sustaining life if anything... Very interesting topic! Infinite possibilities

Not quite.

Titan has an excellent chance of supporting life, as it resembles a very young Earth, albeit a bit colder.

Europa is theorized to have liquid water beneath its frozen surface.

Enceladus has strong evidence for liquid water on its surface.

Mars really isn't the top of the list for our search for life. It's merely easy to get to

Yeah the easier to get to and warmer is mainly why I was saying, Cold kills germs Mars actually has the best chance for something to evolve if there is bacteria and water.. As for titan n' such, Those are jupiters moons right? That'd be a awesome view none the less! imagine sittin on the back porch of your superheated ecodome on one of jupiters moons drinkin a beer and taking in the mass of jupiter above you, probally couldnt see any space atall atleast 2 hours out of a day (How ever many hours would be in a day there..)

Titan is a moon of Saturn as is Enceladus and yes, what a beautiful view that would be.

Europa is Jupiter's, however. What keeps this planet's inside warm is the same thing making Io such a violent place that maps of the planet become obsolete in hours... Jupiter's massive gravitational effect. As it orbits, the planet is stretched and squished, heating it up just like bending a piece of metal over and over.

Fun fact: Io orbits close enough to Jupiter that energy will arc between the two. The radiation from this measures in the megarad range.

The Phoenix lander Twitters it's own discoveries from Mars... I get them sent to my cell phone.

Twitter / MarsPhoenix


My parents think it's great:

Mom: Who's that?
Me: Oh, just another message from Mars.
