When's Martian winter?

Do you think even if NASA did find life on mars (micro organism's etc.)
they would tell the public?

Depends on what kind of life it was/is.

Of course. Their budget would go through the roof. They're much more likely
to fake life than cover it up.

I disagree if they did find life on another planet they would not tell us.
Knowledge is power.

Absolutely. There would be a huge press release.

I cannot fathom what mentality would think they would do otherwise.

Half of the time.

As on earth, if it's summer in one hemisphere it's winter in the
other, and this applies in every other quarter of the year. So you
need to specify which side of the Martian equator you're thinking of.

Wouldn't that techically be all the time then?

Only if you acknowledge only the two seasons of summer and winter. I
assumed there would be four Martioan seasons as on earth, so for half
the year -- "every other quarter" -- it would be neither winter nor
summer, i.e. during the northern spring / southern autumn and _vice versa_.

Ok how is not telling giving them more power?

Guess you don't understand Hoagland and the other people who think the
way he does. But you aren't alone there!

When Bush gets astronauts on Mars they will find it not the best place
for Christmas. It is much worse than Christmas in Florida. Here its 78
degrees,and lighting up a palm tree looks like hell. Bert
