This was a floodplain that in ancient times was bigger than the Great
Lakes. The small Sojourner rover went down the ramp carried cameras,and an X-ray spectrometer for chemical analysis. Seems it landed in the best site to find water,and organic matter. What were the out come of these tests? Throw this in. Mars Global Surveyor worked for five years and mapped the surface to a resolution as small as one meter. Bert |

So?

Bert So, Bert either won't or can't go to the Mars Pathfinder or MGS web sites and find out for himself what the results have been. He seems to know little about Mars (not really a sin), but from his postings, he appears to be uninterested in changing his situation. He refuses to consult valid web resources and refuses to even read the good books on Mars that are easily available at the library (I sometimes wonder if he would really understand what they say). He just continues to blurt things out, getting what little he has heard or read all mixed up and distorted. I tried to answer his questions and get him the correct information, but his refusal to go get the facts and his intense hatred of NASA eventually made the experience too frustrating to take. -- David W.

David Did I not know Ares Vallis was a very big flood plain? However I
was really trying to show no tests for watter was really confirmed,nor organic matter. You are 100% right NASA run by corrupt politicians(stone wall and cover up) is not my cup of tea. I like good engineering. I don;t like cloth air bags. I don't like NASA engineers telling me these bags could hit a sharp rock,and ruin the lander. I see sharp rocks on Mars. I can think for myself that the dusty soil is a product of rock weathering. I know the debate over the presence of surface water,and life on Mars continues. I don't think spirit will give much more information then we now have. My thoughts are landing close to where in summer the polar frost retreats back close to the North Pole would be an active spot. Why keep going back close to the Equator all the time? Well I know its easier to land there. It is starting to remind me of NASA 37 years of low orbit experiments. That you David loved so much.

RM The SO? is we landed in the best spot to find water or organic
matter if it was as little as one molecule in a billion,it would show. Bert |
