Hellish Vision of Mars Unveiled

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."

    I vote for "assholes". Still, not as bad as the people who want to keep the moon pristine. Let's see, airless ball of rock and dust with no chance of any living thing... Let's maintain it in its pristine state!

    Of course, in order to do that, you would have to institute an asteroid point defense system...
