Rovers on Mars

I think the scientists involved here can recognize certain factors that make it likely they are correct. I am not trained in any of this, so I mostly wait for those who are to clarify the issues.

I don’t think mars rovers make very good hunter-gatherers.

No sweat, Elon will check it out personally shortly. A bacteria or two ought to be easy, or at least a few diatoms.

Yep, Sometimes the machinry isnt built to do th job and mot of the time we blindly stumble on things that work it out.

It was just like the time that boat toed magnetometers(used to locate mines couldnt detect changes on the earths magnetic declination over great distances until they came out with the mega gaussian drivers to hunt for deep mines that they were getting huge mag interference signals that were actually caused not by mines, but by deep ocean magmas reaching a curie point wrt the planets magnetic field. Accidently the minesweepers discovered evidence for the Wegner Hypothesis called continntal drift.
Also like Penzias an Wilson having to cleam out the pigeon **** from their "space horn" and gaind some evidence of the Big Bang

These rovers aren’t even looking for bacteria or diatoms, so unless something obvious like a fossil shell shows up in the camera view they aren’t going to find it.

These rovers are good at what they are programmed to do, but for exploration nothing beats human boots on the ground.

Yeah, but all the excitement when they thought Rover caught the scent of a Martian fart was amusing.

I think Methane on Mars is a thrilling discovery. I can’t wait to find out what is causing it.

Might make sense to have thousands of solar reflector satellites 🛰 to warm Mars vs artificial suns (tbd)

Nuke Mars refers to a continuous stream of very low fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the atmosphere to create artificial suns. Much like our sun, this would not cause Mars to become radioactive.

So far, mission scientists haven't offered any indication as to the nature of the colored substance and have said only that it is "gel-like" and has an "unusual color." One possible explanation, outside researchers suggested, is that the substance is melt glass created from meteorites striking the surface of the moon.

Yutu-2's discovery isn't scientists' first lunar surprise, however. Apollo 17 astronaut and geologist Harrison Schmitt discovered orange-colored soil near the mission's Taurus-Littrow landing site in 1972, prompting excitement from both Schmitt and his moonwalk colleague, Gene Cernan. Lunar geologists eventually concluded that the orange soil was created during an explosive volcanic eruption 3.64 billion years ago.

Pretty sure I heard a Beep beep and then an explosion over the horizon.

NASA finds Mars water ice deposits astronauts could reach with a shovel
According to NASA's "treasure map," future Red Planet astronauts won't have to carry all their water from Earth.

I wish we had an astronaut on Mars... with a shovel...

Aw, I can't do everything. It's all I can do to post about it.

"Mole" i once again working. The JPL guy jut hifted the "bit" to the left and right and free it of whatever was holding it back. This is a technique usd by water well drillers. I woner of they got some ole rotary drill boys from Arkansas who do the dowsing to help NASA out??
