BBC: Mars 'not a watery world'
Scoria writes "Contrary to a belief shared among many scientists, new evidence established by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor suggests that the planet may not have once possessed a temperate climate capable of sustaining life. Instead, an absence of carbonate rock deposits, which require the presence of liquid water to be produced, lends credence to those who believe that Mars is perpetually frozen."
Now Russia won't have to worry about those silly control rods to help keep the reactor cooler in their proposed Mars Nuclear Station !
after careful examination of available data, and in light of recent probes, i have determined that my ex-girlfriend was always cold and frozen. there is no clear evidence of a soul, warm blood, or a conscience.
