There is no question that meteorites that hit the moon could blast away
moon rock that will fall into the Earth gravity field.,and be found in areas much like the Antarctic ice (where there are no rocks. So how come when we find a meteorite we are told it came from Mars.? Moon gravity (escape velocity) is less than Mars. Moon is millions of miles closer. Is it all because it you want to sell a book Mars is a more interesting object to talk about? Also keep in mind the moon does not have an atmosphere to slow(friction) objects down. I think man is possessed with his thoughts about Mars. It is red and that color stirs up emotions Mars can spell war it you flip the "M" It was a war semble in the old days. Truth is Mars surface other than its poles looks very much like the surface of the moon. True it does change with its dust storms,but its picture is dust and sharp looking rock always. The change is more dust here or there after each storm. It is a cold (like the moon) dusty dry surface.,and the first boot imprint(like Armstrong's) on Mars will have the same look. The only difference will be Mars dust will be deeper than the dust on the moon. I would like to see more orbiters,than landers. I would like to know the size of Mars core?. I would like to know how hot the core is?. I would like to know why Mars does not have a magnetic field? This can be done without landing on Mars. At this spacetime landing on Mars is to risky. It uses up time. It tells us very little,and a well equipped orbiter can tell us more. Bert |
