do you think that maybe white man is from mars and they destroyed it and came to earth 40000 years ago and now white man is destroying the earth and is looking to go back to mars.?

Excellent video, 2013, you bring up many points of interest. Seems to me the martian climate is something that we can adapt to for human colonization. I know there are other problems to solve but Mars undoubtedly is a workable site for us to begin setting up shop. There is soil, an atmosphere, temperatures within a range that is suitable, and water. We could add nutrients to soil and grow heartier stocks of vegetation in martian soil. The mind races at all the possibilities presented here.

No, because they were too lazy to get out of their martian lander and poke around. It was a little chilly on the surface, and quite frankly, the super bowl was on.

If the top meter exists 80% out of water that also means the top of that top layers exists 80% out of water, or else she would have said that there is a layer of dirt on the mud as dry as a cork. If you mix soil with water, and you take 2 parts of soil and 8 parts water you end up with mud. Check out Phoenixs scooper on Google. It doesnt look dusty, it looks muddy.

But this doesn't tell you anything about the uppermost surface soil. The 2 inches of loose soil/sand/dust on TOP of that "top meter".

She said: There is 80% water in the top meter of the soil. The top meter, that's where Phoenix landed on. My theory is correct.
cuivienel (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
The thing is (as far as I understood the statement).There is a layer of water beneath the upper soil. There are (e.g.) 2inches of soil and underneath there is a layer of water.

Check the vid description and click on the link. Scroll to the scientist confirming that indeed (where the Phoenix landed) there are large amounts of water in the Martian soil.

There's one problem with your theory about the soil:On earth soil is packed with water. Therefore if the temperatures are low enough, the water in the soil begins freezing. Therefore you need a drill in order to break it.It is perfectly possible that the martian soil lacks water. Therefore it is possible, that this waterless soil is pushed away with ease- just like the soil on the moon.
