New Cave Entrances Seen on Mars
Riding with Robots writes "The Mars Odyssey orbiter has come across what look to be openings to cavernous spaces under the surface of Mars. NASA reports the find is fueling interest in potential underground habitats and sparking searches for caves elsewhere on the Red Planet. These latest images follow other recent discoveries of intriguing places to explore. From the article: 'The find has led some to wonder if these or other caves on the planet may provide shelter to life or former life on the Red Planet. "Somewhere on Mars, caves might provide a protected niche for past or current life, or shelter for humans in the future," said Tim Titus of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff. These caves, however, likely never hosted life due to the extreme altitude of their location. "Even if life has ever existed on Mars, it may not have migrated to this height," said Cushing.'"
Or maybe, instead a of "lol teyhre so stopid" response, you could have contributed something worthwhile to the discussion.
And maybe, just maybe, it was modded flamebait because it WAS flamebait? A lot of people are just sick and tired of the endless prattling on of infantile insults lobbed from democrats to republicans (AND VICE VERSA). Just insulting (Generic Political Figure) and expecting a laugh doesn't work. And "Lil' Bush" is getting lousy ratings as a result (And yes, I'll happily admit that the show insults democrats, and foreign politicians too. It's just not funny.)
seriously mods, can you ban people who post those things? its just spam and since i keep all comments seen on so i can see all viewpoints on certain issues, that also mean that i have to look at that crap. on a more serious note, i thought it was pretty obvious that mars would have caves too but i guess im just not getting the full importance of this, could someone explain it?
