Hey the Martians have had their chance to invade, now it's our turn. ;) The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Was watching live, all I can say is ****ing incredible !!! Bloody brilliant !! There will be babies conceived in Pasadena tonight :-) One of the people I was watching with made the comment, "That's to trouble with the Yanks. It's like having a savant relative. They can do incredible things but you have to watch them like a hawk because at any time and without warning they can go "Yeeeaaaargh" and create total mayhem that takes ages to clean up after." Well Done NASA !!! T.A. |

I watched it live on CNN, Now the system has passed the acid test, We've invaded Mars, Marvin look out... It's Laser vs Disintegration Ray... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

It's all over the news here as well. http://www.deingenieur.nl/nl/nieuws/19170/wagentje-curiosity-goed-geland-op-mars.html (It's in Dutch though) rOZZ Music Pictures |

It's all over the news here as well. The News here said the curiosity rover could operate anywhere from 2.5 years to 10 years... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

It's all over the news here as well. 10 years is a long time. Maybe humans will be ready to set foot on Mars by then. rOZZ Music Pictures |

It's all over the news here as well. That should be 2.0 years to 10 years, this rover is Nuclear powered, as the rover has a Plutonium heart... Maybe, We'll see. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Oh and to those in Arizona, this one's bigger than the little hole there. The Valles Marineris rift system on Mars is 10 times longer, five times deeper and 20 times wider than the Grand Canyon. This composite image was made aboard NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft, which launched in 2001. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Oh and to those in Arizona, this one's bigger than the little hole there. Must be gigantic, standing in front of it. The Grand Canyon is that impressive already. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Oh and to those in Arizona, this one's bigger than the little hole there. You could fit 10,000 Grand Canyons in that rift, which is thought to have been from an impact that stopped the Martian global magnetic field, hence the thin atmosphere, now if that could be somehow restarted or emulated, Mars could become Green... Of course the other problem is the cold 80F at the equator and I think -121F at night, -200F at the poles, far colder than most plants like, which is talked about Here...

Mars could become Green... Actually it is within the range of human ability and technology, all We'd need to do is warm the planet up some to melt the co2 at the poles, add a plant to break down ammonia into Nitrogen and Hydrogen and of course once the air is warm enough add plants, easily done according to NASA, now of course the one sticking point is making a replacement magnetic field to protect that atmosphere 24/7...

Mars could become Green... Perhaps in the next 50-100 years, as the state of the art of space transportation advances. First, manned exploration missions, then maybe the magnetic field, then greenhouse gasses to thicken the atmosphere and warm the planet a bit..... Some excellent science fiction has been written about terra-forming Mars. Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" trilogy comes immediately to mind. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Mars could become Green... Still it would be one heck of an achievement... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Mars could become Green... A difficult achievement as well I think. rOZZ Music Pictures |
