Do you think colonization will happen on Mars after we are gone ? Or any other planet for that matter. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coytee 3382 Posted February 19 "Perseverance will search for signs of ancient life on Earth's neighboring planet, paving the way for eventual human exploration of Mars." It dawned on me while reading that..... perhaps there's a reason any ancient life might have left the planet and here we are potentially planning on barging right back in! Hope any boogymen are gone by now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyOwn 3096 Posted February 19 ^^^ Perhaps it was us that screwed it up to begin with and some how we have forgotten we did... Do Overs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyOwn 3096 Posted February 19 Or just the desire to go far beyond where we are currently at. Was talking to a bud about Lewis and Clark just yesterday...Can you imagine what was on their minds? / Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seadog 1258 Posted February 19 "Perseverance will search for signs of ancient life". I hope it doesn't overlook any present signs of life. It is quite the engineering achievement. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to retrieve the core samples Perseverance will collect. Maybe not even in our lifetime? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyOwn 3096 Posted February 20 I think we will look for life elsewhere that is evident here on earth. Perhaps elsewhere there is other life beyond what we know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep in mind how much exploration took place to find what we have found so far here on earth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seadog 1258 Posted February 20 I'm looking forward to see how well the little Ingenuity Mars Helicopter works. I had no idea Mars had enough of an atmosphere for aerodynamic flight. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had no idea Mars had enough of an atmosphere for aerodynamic flight. I read that flight requires very high blade RPMs for that little chopper. It’ll be interesting.
