Humans 'could survive Mars visit' UPDATED: First color Hi-res image from Mars (13MP)

I am pretty sure that if they are unable to find water in all of the unmanned flights between now and whenever we plan to send a human, they won't do it.
There is no need if there is no water, which means there is/was no life or very little, which means no oil.


And why the hell are there cuts out of the picture?

Mars Odessy found that much of the northern plains are 20-50% water ice (by mass) located 1.5 feet below the surface!

Measured by these instruments
Ice images

There are many examples of "rampart" craters. Rampart craters are caused by asteroids hitting ice melting the ice and creating a slushy impact. The result is a flat crater. Rampart craters indicate that equitorial ice is 200m below surface. Mid lattitudes it is 100m below surface. And way north it is practicly at the surface. Also there is evidence of pentagon shaped surface deformation. THis happens when water freezes and expands, soil patterns are identical to those in artic canada. There is so much evidence for water. It doesn't exist at the surface becasue do to the low atmosphereic pressure it would instantly evaporate. Much the same way that dry ice does on earth.

So many things to consider on such a trip.

If they threw in a few pretty blondes I could stand a trip to and from Mars.

Professional astronauts can't handle it? You would be so busy on Mars. I'd be jumping up and down the whole ride there; I bet whatever geologist that got to go would be to.

Now that would be a boring trip!

But just think how good you'd become at XBox, PS2, etc... 🙂

Just think about how much you'd have to work out just to keep your muscles from atrophying...

You know how you fix that tie your hab to upperstage booster with 200m steel cable and get it spinning. Most easily fixed problem that is blown out of proportion so often. If you exercise on mars the gravity would likely not have an effect on bone loss.
