Scott Just one simple question for you to answer. A space ship leaving
Earth is it easier to travel to Jupiter or the Sun.?; I'm even giving
you the advantage of such a huge distance. Jupiter is about three times
further away from Earth than the Sun. Best you keep angular motion in
mind,for that is used by nature to counteract gravitational pull.

Well since you want to compare apples to oranges, I see where you are
coming from. One can claim anything in a case like that. But lets stay
focused on the actual problem. One could metorites found in the
Antarctic ice come from Mars. Possible, linking their chemical
morphology to that of actual Mars rocks studied by the rovers (and thus
ruling out that they came from the Moon because the chemistry doesn't
match, alluding to one of your other posts). There have been more than
one of these found, and the reference I gave you was of one that was not
analysed by NASA scientists, which you like to disparage, but a group in
Europe.

And, as I already pointed out, any object leaving Mars without the
ability to escape the gravity of the Sun will be drawn to the Sun-funny
thing about gravity that. It may not do a straight line fall but a
trajectory, much like any other body operating under a single force.
But it will fall in the direction of the Sun, increasing the chances of
it reaching the Earth.

Finally, I find it extremely humorous that you claim knowledge of
celestial mechanics that the rest of the astronomical community
apparently does not possess. If it was so simple to refute the claims
of meteorites coming from Mars based on your simplistic assumptions,
someone brighter than you would have already pointed it out.
