Maps Show Mars Was Once More Like Earth

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the also-dogs-were-once-more-like-cats dept.

vrioux writes "NASA scientists have discovered additional evidence that Mars once underwent plate tectonics, slow movement of the planet's crust, like the present-day Earth. A new map of Mars' magnetic field made by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft reveals a world whose history was shaped by great crustal plates being pulled apart or smashed together. ."

    Seeing as how we do not behave exactly like every other animal, would there be a way that we could have come from Mars?

    Perhaps Adam and Eve were real and the first couple to come.

      I'm from Mars.

      So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

      Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.

      But trust me.... You don't.

      I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about.

      This is how bad info gets passed around.

      If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.

      Cuz some Slashdotters belive anything they hear.
