There can't be fossils on Mars, because God created life on Earth only and fossils on mars would mean the Bible's wrong and there's no God.
No, it means Man is wrong and shouldn't have trusted the Bible Beaters.
...meanwhile, God is drinking a margarita, and getting a little chuckle out of it :p.
There are celestial bars on Mars? Wow, that could be a new religion.
Didn't think of that! Good idea!

If you are thinking fossil fuels or any other resource--the cost would still prohibit an active program of extraction.

Entire bands on the bottom of the ocean at mean depths are litterd with Manganese nodules (+ associated bunch of other minerals).

Several countries have looked into mining these areas--in fact cooperative efforts between the US, Japan, The former Soviet Union, Germany and a few other have occured in the past.

Still the potential windfall from these minerals is far less than the output cost to do it.
