    Could zombies exist on Mars?

    First, a disclaimer: I do not actually think that there are zombies presently on Mars. But, if there were zombies, could they exist on Mars? I mean, if zombies are already dead, do they still need air, water and food? If they don't need these, then zombies could exist on Mars. I think we need...

    The Sounds of Mars! - Coming Soon

    With apologies to Arthur C. Clarke! NASA's Perseverance rover is due to touch down on Mars on Feb 18th 2021. It is fitted with a couple of microphones. You'll be able to listen to the sounds from the Red Planet assuming it gets there in one piece. I suppose if it crashes that might make an...

    How cold is it on Mars, really?

    I recently watched ep 2 of the National Geographic miniseries 'Mars', and one of the major plot points was the danger posed to the astronauts by the cold temperatures of the planet, especially at night. It's common in popular media to portray Mars being a dangerously cold place, and the numbers...

    ExoMars lander

    ESA's ExoMars lander was supposed to touch down minutes ago. So far, it doesn't sound good. I think there is a ~10 minute delay and it has been well over that time. The control room doesn't look terribly happy. :( http://exploration.esa.int/mars/ http://livestream.com/esa/exomarssocialtv

    A Man Who Went To Mars

    This guy claims he went to Mars last year. It isn't even convincing as science fiction. I immediately spotted several big flaws in his story (like how nobody noticed the launch or spotted them toodling around on the Martian surface) besides the usual conspiracy-fail of "I'm in hiding and in...

    Curiosity on it's way to Mars.

    The Mars rover Curiosity was successfully launched today and is on it's way to mars. It will be the largest rover ever put on Mars and has a nuclear battery which is expected to last 14 years, so it won't be dependent on the sun for power. Expected landing is August 5, 2012...

    Spotting December New Moon as it Occults Mars

    On December 6th some observers will have an opportunity to spot the New Moon while it is little more than a day old at the same time it is occulting Mars. The Dark Moon will be in geocentric longitudinal conjunction with the Sun on 2010 DEC 05 at 17:36 UT (11:36 CST). Mercury will serve as a...

    Does Mars have diamonds?

    Since coal is an organic substance and diamonds are made from coal does that mean that since life didn't develope on mars that no gems exist there?

    question about mars

    The atmospheric pressure of mars is much lower than that of earth. Is it so much lower that it would instantly kill a human outside without a space suit, such as the famous scene from the movie 'Total Recall'? Would it be possible to stand on mars with nothing but an oxygen tank and mask? To...

    Can we turn Mars into another Earth?

    So a friend brought up the topic of terraforming Mars to make it hospitable for all manner of life. I'd never heard of the idea, but I dismissed it because I figured it'd simply be too cold. Turns out, there's quite a bit of research that's been done on it. Here's the wiki, and another...

    Which is better? A dead mars or a Mars with life?

    I've read two different theories as to whether life is on mars or not. All the chemicals are there that are essential to life and Mars once had water on its surface. However this water was very saline and some scientists say that just as salt in high concentrations prevent meat from rotting so...

    Cases for the colonisation of Mars

    Buzz was on Newsnight a few days ago, talking about the moon, and the exploration of space. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/8131880.stm Time and again, space exploration comes up against the same argument: 'Why should we spend so much on space when we don't spend nearly enough...

    Say life is discovered on mars..

    Let's say the next Mars rover confirms biological life is on the red planet. That is, DNA based life forms, similar to ourselves. What is the likelihood that 2 adjacent planets evolved DNA based life forms? It is one thing to speculate over the entire universe, but adjacent planets? The odds...

    The Phoenix has Died

    The Phoenix mission, which discovered indisputable proof of water on Mars, went quiet and the mission has been ended by NASA. It was facing declining power output in the Martian winter when a dust storm apparently covered up enough of the solar cells' capacity to send it below the likely...

    Mars Anomalies

    The landing site seems to be a good place to look for water and I find the rings in the side of the cliff below the landing site interesting and there is an anomaly to the right and down a way from the landing site, on the right side that looks like a cylinder. It’s on or near one of the rings...
