Will Phoenix discover Life on mars?

Only poked around the article, but I assume colonization would be the ultimate goal and what were doing now is the ground work.

Again, I'm sorry for taking your thread off topic.

No need to apologise for defending your beliefs or views. I just couldn´t understand why this suddenly turned into a religious topic, odd things happen eh🙂

I see they´ve released a picture of a "test scoop". Which then got dumped without being tested. Quite odd seeing as there appeared to be some ice crystals amongst it.

They believe there's a sheet of ice below the surface; that would explain the ice-crystals.

Then what are they waiting for, dig some up and find those frozen grays🙂

Its way too early to even consider colonization, I saw a documentary about it on the Tv a while ago. There´s so many big hurdles to jump. In order to even have people in space for a longer length of time they have to solve the muscle loss problem, even with execise they still need a course of steady rebuilding to adapt to gravity again when returning from the space station for example, and this is only one problem.

Next scoop

Phoenix's robotic arm has taken its second scoop out of Mars. The resulting trench reveals a splash of mysterious white material just below the topsoil. cocaine on mars! proof of life?🙂

Put on your 3D glasses for an in-depth look at this stereo picture, borrowed from spaceweather.com.

water found

Well it looks like they´ve found proof of water ice on mars.

The breakthrough came last week when Phoenix's stereo camera caught the substance in the act of disappearing,
Bathed in martian sunlight for four days, the white substance sublimated (transformed from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state) This is how water behaves on Mars. Atmospheric pressure on the Red Planet is so low (1% that of Earth), it rarely allows H2O to exist in liquid form on the planet's surface; solid and gas are the only options.
