Various pictures taken by Curiosity have shown that all is not what it appears to be on Mars. This video reveals secrets of Mars!
Must watch.
I will include links to images used in a couple of days.
here is a whole planet there that was once inhabited by a civilisation that was much more advanced than we are now. We shouldn't be surprised at 'anything' we may find.
My take on this now is that we are the Martians. That's where we came from and that is why, to some of us, artefacts there look so familiar. NASA are scratching their heads trying to figure out how they could send manned missions to Mars and what technology would be needed. Isn't it just possible that all the technology we could ever need is right there on Mars? Exactly where we left it!
March 12 Update:
"We have found a habitable environment that is so benign and supportive of life that probably if this water was around and you had been on the planet, you would have been able to drink it," said chief scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology.
March 13 Update:
ESA and the Russian federal space agency, Roscosmos, have signed a formal agreement to work in partnership on the ExoMars programme towards the launch of two missions in 2016 and 2018.
March 17 Update:
NASA say that they will be spending many more weeks in Yellowknife Bay as they have 'found an environment supportive of microbial life'. Sure, and a lot more it seems to me.
