The area is 100 km across, with a resolution of 12 m per pixel, and shows a channel (Reull Vallis) once formed by flowing water.
if we manage to figure out how to get astronauts to make a six-month journey in a cramped spaceship without going insane, then get them to land on a planet with no oxygen and very little heat, they will at least be able to get some fresh water if they can land on the South Pole and bring along a flamethrower to melt it'.
Of course theres Oxygen in water H2O... an oxygen molecule for every 2 hydrogens. I think they can split up water molecules to make O2 (oxygen gas) and use the extra hydrogens for other stuff, like making marshmallow cream pies and ****. Then they can terraform the planet into a habitable one over hundreds/thousands of years of stuff after the introduction of anaerobic bacteria and then cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes that contribute to the formation of an atmosphere that sustains life Amazing stuff :tup:MetalMickey said:Radiation is the major obstacle to a manned mars mission I think. Also, it is hot on mars, during the "day" anyway. And Isnt there oxygen in water? I read somewhere about cool stuff they could do with a water source on the planet surface. Ill try to dig up a link. Its a huge part of the requirements for an eventual settlement.
