cr47t Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ok, so there are a lot of news topics about this so I wont get a link, but basically scientists found evidence of liquid water around the surface of mars. We/i don`t know where it is coming from yet though. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Some people (ie Doctor Who fans) were saying on Twitter not to drink the water because of an episode of Doctor Who (The Waters of Mars). I think it's a breakthrough though that they found evidence of water though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I mean this should be pretty funking self-explanatory rightI know, but as I said (and I will repeat), some of those people were Doctor Who fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I mean this should be pretty funking self-explanatory rightYou could filter and purify first before drinking. I look forwards to building another Venice on Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 It doesn't have a lack of funds. It has a plenthora of funds, not receding from the government. NASA only gets stronger, mate. You're like 5 years behind, the backing from the Government was 2010-2011ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicmemesbro Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nevermind it is actually the space shuttle program that was cancelled and will probably be for the next decade.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King K. Azo Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yay. Water on Mars. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yay. Water on Mars. So?It means that in the future colonization may be possible. It's still a long-shot but it's a bit more of a possibility down the line.Also it's proof that there's potential for life on other planets.

And... Seriously, Cavin and Hobbes taught me we should fix our own issues on this planet before we mess up others. As for life on other planets, well, they're in no hurry to up find us, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 If you guys think water on Mars is cool, you should check out "Gliese 1214 b" - the categorical name for the nicknamed Waterworld. It is literally a planet that is PURE WATER. Imagine that! About 2.7 times Earth's diameter and is almost seven times as massive, and it is just one massive ocean. Screw Sci-Fi man, real space is so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the essentials of water, food, and oxygen, water is by far the most difficult to get. Food and oxygen are easy in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfusion Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 And... Seriously, Cavin and Hobbes taught me we should fix our own issues on this planet before we mess up others. The thing is, Mars and other planets don't have anything to mess up. And also, colonisation of other planets/the Moon might be a way to help 'fix our own issues'.For example, an idea I had heard of was placing a load of solar panels on the moon, hopefully allowing much cheaper (or even free, to an extent) electricity for everyone, making so much more possible, as well as saving on space/resources on Earth!

The solar panel thing would be awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solar panel thing would be awesome though. The technology needed to colonize other planets would probably solve all of our current issues on Earth anyway. And the prospect of colonizing other planets besides possibly Mars is so off in the future, the 'issues' you talk about will be completely different.

Tentacruel Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah, as much as people talk about it like we're ready to leave earth, I don't think any of us will actually live to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethera Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah, exactly. I mean, I could see us putting solar panels on the moon in our lifetime, but going all Wall-E? That's a bit far off. Plus, I rather like Earth, and I'd rather we fix up what we have here before shooting off somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
