    were you drunk when you typed this?

    Anyway humans aren't as bad as you think, robots will be a reality before the first mannend mars mission and their is nothing that indicates that uploading yourself is going to be possible in the near (100 year) future

    There was nothing that indicated power flight would be possible in 100 years to the people back in 1808 either.

    Yes, I think this is the first inter-planetary mission that NASA has done since 2005!

    You know people the reason this mission is so much more important than all the previous missions is because it is landing on an area of Mars were there is actually been detected high concentrations of water...frozen...but water neverthless, which is of course a precursor to life

    Perhaps it is only frozen nitrogen or carbon dioxide, now we might learn the truth.:shrug:

    this is it 8h more waiting for a 10 days full system diagnostic... We should have a poll on wether it will crash or not

    Frozen nitrogen or carbon dioxide, does not have hydrogen which is what was detected (by neutron detectors.) Water is the only likely source of that hydrogen, and their could be organics in that frozen water, life perhaps frozen that comes out ever few eons when the polar regions get warmer, just perhaps.

    Frozen nitrogen is highly unlikely since it freezes at 69.1 K and the lowest temp on Mars is 139 K.
