Surface water.

By now I'm sure you've all heard about what may be surface water in the Endurance Crater. Don't go too nuts, just yet, people. We still need to terraform the shit out of that plaent, before its liveable. And let us never forget the fact that, should we encounter life, it may well fucking kill us.

Tori Amos - [Mother Revolution]--- No one ever thinks about the fact that their fucking germs may fucking well kill Us. Especially if "they" Are germs. Bacterial life is the most likely thing.

And another thing, while I've got my Irish up, on the subject of aliens: The X-Files would have ended a Lot better if the aliens had been performing experiments, through history, to attune people to occult phenomena, in an effort to increase human evolution to the point where it could successfully defend itself against those kinds of attacks. The greatest living fulfillment of their experiement: Fox Mulder. Signs and portents to follow, bringing in Scully's child.

That is all.

And about terraforming. We'd need to create artificial gravity for us to perminatly live there. Or to find a way to overcome the bone loss and muscle depleation from living in a much lower gravity. Mars (if I remember correctly) is only 1/2 or somesuch Gs. Something to do with the Martian core being solid or some such. Big ways to go. Personally, I think we need to focus on the Moon.

Moon's 1/4 the gravity. Plus, if we were to inject the Martian core with, say, a large about of molten metal. If we could grab an asteroid, melt it down... Sure, it's a few decades off, but it's a potential plan.

Wouldn't that be nice? I doubt it'll happen anytime soon, though.
