New Mars Forums

There are a few spots on Mars (deep in the Hellas Basin is one of them) where the temperature and pressure are high enough for liquid water to exist at the surface. In Mars dry air, this water would quickly evaporate. A large lake might last awhile. At night it would freeze, and it would probably stay frozen most of the year.

Looks like those old WWII photos of a bombed European City.

Cindy, check out that white cloud on the left side, near the end of the movie. It looks almost like it is coming from a stationary source- like a volcano venting (I know it can’t be a volcano venting, but that is what it looks like)

Rember this view; http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/ … R1_br2.jpg Wishing we were over in those hills. Now we are at the top of one (We as in Spirit, of course).

I have some ideas posted under my In the Works post on my Blog at http://www.lulu.com/REBleier

Check out my End of the Universe (in the works) story.

Try writing about something billions of years into the future. It will challenge you to be very creative.

Did you catch the last couple of Enterprise shows where they were on Mars. I thought that was cool.

I saw it here. Interesting crater. Looks like the water ponded and then froze. Ice sublimes in the dry air. It can not be too old unless it is being replenished.  I have been looking for craters like this.

It is free, but you are on your own with editing and book covers. So if you are dyslexic like me, you can’t edit enough.

If you have written something, give it a shot.

Looks like the back of some sea creature sliding into the ocean.

I had first thought that Opportunity would have and easier time traveling than Sprit. And for a while it did. But now…navigating around these dunes will be interesting.

The top section reminds me of Satellite pictures of a city’s suburbs.

More thoughts on the weird Hellas area.

Maybe this area is some sort of muddy/icy slurry,, sort of like a slushy glacier. I do see features that look like glacier moraines. But what about the curly features. Could they be mud eddies?
