In all reality Martian magma probably did contain H20, but it's hard to say if the Mantle is even Active now, or if it has cooled. With now Magnetosphere, It would be hard pushed to prove a molten magnetic Core. Also, is there a link where the MOC pictures have been parsed together? Or do you have to go through each individual picture?
Yes, I think much of this research hinges on the actual discovery of the particle that is believed to cause wieght/gravitional attraction. I don't remember it's name.. but hopefully they can find it, or figure it out. be awesome to find a way to block gravitational waves. would make space access a wee bit less expensive, and travel to other planets much quicker..
Oops.. damn mouse on laptops.. anyway..
For Geological Epoch/eons ages periods etc etc, there will be Mars specific names due to different events as there will be on any 'body' we study. Just like different types of biology are subdivided into different areas. People have spent their whole lives studying the Laramide Orogeny (mountain building process that led to the Rocky Mountains) which was a very complex event. So the Study of Mars and how it was formed may take on a science of its own.. While I haven't poured over the maps of Mars, I know much of the things I learned about Structual Geology still work, will others are simply out the window. It's a different field of , study with some similiarities, dictated by Age, Makeup of the Core, mantle and crust. The Atmosphere(we need some core samples to verify the stability of the atmosphere.) and how it varies. Etc. The one area of geology I still know fairly well is structure. On Mars, you don't so the Syncline/Anticline deformities so much, or the definitive evidence for faulting to support an active plate tectonic system. But it's hard to say. depending on the wind erosion, the hardness of the rock, and the abrasiveness of the sand in the storms, the whole planet could be like Arches National Park.. Who knows...
Sulphur, salts, or other volcanic emissions would be accompanied by concurrent emission of gasses perhaps including water vapor (steam)
Water Vapor will be only present if there is water in the Magma.
Also.. what is the barometric pressure and the gravity at Olympus Mons. Also, what is the Depth of the Caldera and the width. With that information, one could calculate the possibily of sand dunes. Also, In the Southern United States they have Salt Domes. Is it possible that Olympus Mons never erupted. If the Caldera collapsed from a magma reservoir draing back to the Mantle, or some other loss of support, it would collapse to form what we see today, what if the sand dunes where in existance before the area was elevated and then that particular are collapsed. It could be some crazy synclinal deformity. I personnaly don't think that sand dunes could form on their own at that barometric pressure even in the martian G. with the possible exception of some massive storm going over.. Speaking of which what height does the dust reach during a global storm on Mars?
Also. On Mars there will be its own names to d
If there are no tectonic plates on Mars -and- if the volcanoes thereon are dormant, there will be no Marsquakes...right?
Just curious.
I don't remember how many years the qualifier is to be able to labe a volcano or caldera as dormant. I believe it is 1000-10,000 years of no activity. I believe that it could be more accurately said as extinct. Also, if you were to say that it was dormant that would mean there had been recent volcanic activiyt in geological terms at least.
Also. Due to the lack of what we know of Erosion on Mars, accurate dating of geological structures becomes more of a S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild Ass Guess). This can only be truely solved by one of two things. One, a research station on Mars, or a much larger effort with probes, due to the contrast of martian geology compared to terran geology.
Also, am I the only one that thinks geology is a poor word to describe the Study of Mars and how it was created?
Concrete had a poor strength to weight ratio. Concrete is basicly man made sandstone. Yets, it's stonger then most, but that is basicly what it is. I believe the geological term for it is Quartenary (sp) Conglomerate.
Currently the budget for Space set by this country is the largest of any country on Earth, maybe with the exception of the Chinese who is kick starting their space program. I just would like to start a thread about ways to increase support for funding and how to help achieve this goal. Being in the Military I am aware of how government funding works. It is hard to increase it, but oh so easy to take it away. Being that NASA spening is not a Meat and Potatos kind of agency,. more of a Cool dessert that is really spendy, like the $5 Cheese Cake when you go out for dinner.
It seems interesting.. But I am somewhat skeptical due to the vagueness and attitude of the site. Am I the only one that feels this way?
With idealism, it is oboius that hyprocites are around, but ideals are the highest to adhere to. Why not shoot after them?
Idealism is still here. I would consider myself a pseudo-idealist. I am not a full idealist anymore.. But I am moving back.. Idealism focuses on Ideals, opposed to realism. We are probably one of the most idealistic countries that has ever existed. How many other countries have gone out to help so many people. I do think that both Persian Gulf Wars were for the right reason. I believe Bosnia was for the right reason. I believe we didn't goto Rwanda due to what happened in Somalia. That will also be a big factor in our descision to goto Liberia. I don't think Idealism is Dead, but Idealism should never reign. Idealsism should be coupled to produce a good moderate view/vantage point. Hence why both Liberal and Conservative view points are good if compromise can take place. It allows for special interests to not get passed the floor of the house or senate.
I don't think so.. it would imply communication via g-wave... not sure
The bandwidth we are searching around is based off of a frequency given off by Hydrogen(correct me if I am off base please). It is an assumption, but It's a calling card so to speak. Realistically we can't search all the frequencys and upper UHF is far more efficient then SHF or EHF. there is also a cutoff in the 40-50 ghz range which does not penetrate the Ionosphere. So.. It's a SWAG Scientific Wild Ass Guess.
Aye, I agree with you very much dicktice.. as we deviate from the subject though, my opnion has been clearly stated, and I am glad someone else has a similiar view point as me or vice versa.
I enjoy Seti@Home, and Also, find it is a usable benchmark. Seeing how fast I can crank out work-units. I am deeply interested in Seti and Feel that if we do find a signal, it could be very important. Along with that too, The more Seti@home users they have, and they may through in more search patters. Right now it's very simple. The movie Contact is misleading in that sense..
And unless your trained surgeon is cross trained in numerous other scientific or engineering disciplines, he/she is likely to be pure deadweight on the mission if no medical emergencies arise.
I would argue that. In reality you would need one surgean, then have two or three other crew member trained as either a nurse or paramedic. Probably a Paramedic would od, they can do many things a Nurse can do, and the training is approximately 1200-1300 hours. It can be accomplished in 30 weeks. It only has about 400 hours in the Class the rest is Ambulance ride along and ER/ICU time.
Also. Surgeons have an advance graduate degree based on pre-med, which is a combination of Biology and Chemistry to a medium level. The spot for a Surgeon could be made competitive so you could get a Surgeon who is a medical scientist. Also, Scientific theory is universal. So, he or she could assist with the crew. The iterations are endless. A surgeon would not be dead weight. two more of the crew could be trained as paramedics, LPNs or RNs. etc..
Seth McKiness(who would have thought)
24 years old
Pyoungtek/Osan Area, Republic of Korea(Originally from Iowa)
I am a Senior Airman in the Air Force.
I have been trained as a Journeyman-Level Satellite, Wideband, Telemetry(and Instrumentation), and Space Systems Maintenance and Operation. (there was some career field combination about 3.5 years ago.
I also went to college for 2.5 years as a Geology major.
I am going back to college in the Fall of 2004, but I am unsure what I will major in.
Btw, carbon is the future and not just in terms of nanotube composites. Also a friend of mine is coming to end of some great pice of work which should do for titanium what the Hall-Heroult method did for aluminium. Exciting stuff.
I agree with his statement very much. As with many fields, technology is developed by one industry and borrowed/perfected by another. I have seen Amazing things done with mountain bikes. I had one bike that had a 3AL/2.5V titanium frame that weigher a scant 3.2 lbs, magnesium alloy in the suspension fork legs, 7000 series Aluminum, 6000-series Alumium, 6al/4v Titanium, Manganese on the Seat rails. ETC ETC. Thats what led me to think of this topic. I have worked with Regular Mil Spec Equipment, then seen Minature versions, and been, OMG!, but the use of Exotic lightweight materials EVERYWHERE. Also, I know Transmitters are converting back to Solid State, but I am unaware of Thermal issues or Power Issues. I also don't know what the Noise Floor in Space is Compared to Earth, Completely different subject though.
I have two thoughts about that. One, the Gall bladder is not vestigal. It is used for Temporary Storage of Bile. Gall Bladder issues are not that common. Secondly. I don't see appendicitis being a big issue either, same with tonsilitis. I am personnally against removing organs that are thought to be vestigal, simply on the basis we haven't found a purpose for them.. I feel the Human Body, or Inner Space, still has many Secrets hiding in wait for discovery. I believe this is also the current Medical opinion of Late. Also, I do know that people with Gall bladder removal have to adjust their diet, in lieu of the lack of bile storage. I am not sure in what ways though. Basicly over two to three years there will be plenty of chance for sever health issues. Bringing a qualified PA, NP who is a scientist in another field might not be a bad idea.
A full blown surgeon might not be a bad idea either.
Well. I will keep the New Mars Seti@home Team Active for a few more weeks, but unless I get some more people who are also interested in Seti@home and want to join the team, I am probably going to go back to the Air Force Team

I have added my work-unit distinctiveness to your own.
Kick ass.. If we get 10 - 15 people we could get a decent group going. I should be at 1000 work units by November. I have two accounts. One was a speed account. Can show the difference of the Command Line program.
There is add-on software for the Command line that can show graphical information. The whole advantage to the Command Line is the fact that since it's not graphical it goes faster. There is a status line you can turn on that says what it's doing, if you load a shortcut with advanced setups or make a batch file.
I was wrong, it was believed to be 100-meters in diameter.
What would an air burst meteorite look like? How big of an explosion would it make to produce a big shockwave of dust like Carl Sagan said in Cosmos? Obviously a small meteorite wouldn't make that big of an explosion. So what else could it be?
A meteorite the size of a bus going 20-60,000 miles per hour contains a lot of energy. That should be more then enough to explain a Kiloton size blast.
The Command line actually runs significantly faster then the GUI interface. Due to selectivity, I highly doubt you will recieve any earth-based signals.

Save it into it's own directory then either put an icon on your desktop or link in your startup menu. how it works, is it uses about 15-20 Megabytes of Ram and runs as a background service. This way it is very low priority, so it basicly used the processing power not taken up by programs currently in use. I sometimes run multiple instances on my desktop, by copying the exe into another directory. It slows the overall time down by 15 to twenty minutes, but you get more workunits done.

Above is the link to the New Mars Team I created. I will change any the texts, with suggestions from a forum member, and also will try to put news updates. If installed properly, the Command Line Seti@home runs almost unnoticable on most newer machines.
