Astronomy / Space Curiosity finds water on Mars
- Thread starter Oddball
- Start date
That's IT!!! FDev must now make Mars an "Earthlike World" in-game and also mark it as terraform-able.
Too late it's already been terraformed in game....
...You haven't been to Sol yet, eh buddy?
Mars has been terraformed for hundreds of years.
ugh *cough
it IS already terraformed in game
It is water (of the brine). Drinks all round !!!

True that.
I think the newsworthy part of the new is that water seems to be surprisingly abundant* in the Martian soil, not just in the polar caps or some undeground deposits.
* relative to the expected near absolute no water -situation

Indeed, this makes food and fuel production so much easier.

You know I dug this thread out from exactly 2 years ago. So in another 2 years they will remind us yet again they have found new proof. Well with all those crater impacts and comets are merely ice, it's a no brainer to get paid for this research huh!
Well...these new results was talking about water in a liquid state on the surface rather than ice, which is a lot more interesting...especially in regards to the whole "finding life" aspect. This have of course been suspected for quite some time due to the orbital pictures that have been taken over the years, but now they had enough data to say of for sure.
This is kind of the thing with science...a lot of it isn't "breakthroughs". Instead a lot of it slowly becomes more and more clear over a long time and by the time it is presented everyone already "knows it". Kind of sucks for the scientists...when they finally are sure about it and decides to tell the world everyone goes "Pfft! We knew that already!"

Perhaps.
Though perhaps it has somewhat more to do with NASA's continuing efforts to make space seem interesting, sexy and open to possibilities so the US public will continue paying the vast sums needed to keep NASA types in well paid jobs.
The reality is, it's all very interesting but that's about it. There is no sign of any profit to be made. The first principal of modern capitalism is unsuccessful in the land which sees capitalism as as near to godliness as it's possible for a white guy to achieve.
For the rest of us, it's all just a lot of fun and non-stick frying pans.
I think Nestlé has already acquired the rights.
Nestlé subsidizes certainly the NASA

People just do not seem to understand how important this stuff is, and NASA are partly responsible for failing to communicate this. As long as we remain on one planet our eggs are literally in one basket, a basket which is prone to death from the skies at regular intervals. It's all very short-sighted, profit wont help anyone when they're extinct.
Does this constitute an 'energy' drink?
