Quoted:

I doubt finding bacterial type life on Mars would have much affect on religious types, let alone have them lose their feelings of Big Daddies favorites.

Now, it would be a different story had they found E.T. type aliens with the lighted tip colonoscopy finger. In that movie no one realized the alien was actually saying "Bend Over!" and that phrase in its language just happened to sound like "Phone Home!"

I don't doubt at all that there was and possibly still is life on mars. I think they found it with Viking and glossed over it / covered it up simply because the religious could not stand the thought of not being the center of the universe. Pretty much the same reason Galileo was strong armed by the Catholic Church over his figuring out how the solar system worked.

I have always wondered what a mindfuck it would be to find the ruins of an advanced, civilized but not necessarily spacefaring lifeform on Mars.
That some cataclysm befell them.

IMO bacteria either way wouldn't shock me and we are already pretty sure that no advanced life exists.
But evidence of previous, long dead civilizations.... That would be a tough one.

Man NASA has gone woke. At least their marketing has. Hard to ever see a white man in any of the videos they stream.

Wokism usually ends in failure. Hope the mission is a success.

Quote History

Quoted:
I really don't care one way or the other as long as any life found there remains there.

But you wait, if some life is found the weenies in the white lab coats will want to bring it back to earth "to study it".

It will be a bad day to be human.

Watch the JPLRaw feed and you'll be drunk in 3 minutes. Much better feed IMHO.

People still thinking there's more "out there". Maybe if we're talking dimensions but all those planets...they're empty. FOR NOW.

If this lander was powered by words this thing could have gone to Uranus.

There was a guy just on there that started explaining the rover with a Latino accent. His accent didn’t last long until it fell off completely.

That poor woman talking about in 15-20 years new scientists and engineers will get to study the core samples, she doesn't realize that in a world where 2+2=87 there won't be any scientists or engineers

On the bright side, there will be plenty of Ow My Balls episodes to help you forget that there aren't any scientists or engineers.

In a couple of months we will be at the 60th anniversary of Alan Shepard being the first American in space. Just 8 years later we were landing men on the moon.

Since then while Nasa has done some neat stuff it's nothing compared to what we did in the sixties. It's almost 52 years later and we can only put men in space by riding a Russian rocket or ones provided by an eccentric billionaire. I understand the difficulty of sending men, or now gender fluid people, across the vast distance to another planet but Nasa really needs to work on getting that excitement back.
