Hellish Vision of Mars Unveiled

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fire-in-the-sky dept.

mvladivostok writes "Yahoo has an interesting little article in which it is suggested that Mars may not have once been a warm, wet and hospitable planet that somehow lost its atmosphere; instead, it is suggested that the dead planet was occasionally bombarded by melting meteorites that carved out its distinctive craters and valleys. An interesting read."

    ...this is just more of the Religion-loving-earth-is-only-place-with-life stories. Don't even TRY to tell me the entire planet was carved out with melting rocks. It was WATER people. Face it, the universe if full of life. Mars had & has water. Mars had & has life. When the first scoop of dirt comes back to Earth from mars in a decade or so, we'll see that life is EVERYWHERE.

    On a related story, the earth is NOT flat. Oh, and WE go around the SUN! Amazing, isn't it?
