Some are just shot in random homes too, Uranus is common in areas of California to be made of movie sets.

check out the HiRISE photos NASA has on the website. They highlight topography and you can clearly and easily see the features sculpted by water. It looks exactly like those maps of earth where they remove the water and just show the beds and bottoms

one of these days we'll send a man to Mars and this is going to happen.

I think it's safe to say there is no life on that planet Stop wasting money on looking at a barren wasteland

we already know that. Mars is lifeless. It does not have a magnetic field to deflect solar and cosmic radiation and thus life cannot exist.

However, it may have harbored life in the past. It clearly had surface water in the past which means it had an atmosphere, and weather. And if it had that, it should have had life. And if mars had life, then…life should be everywhere that the conditions exist to allow it. And if that’s the case, we are most certainly not alone

Wouldn’t you like to know?

but why not recruit a few death row/life in prison inmates or anyone in the early stages of terminal illness as volunteers to make the trip?

If I had terminal cancer with no hope of recovery I’d go. Just to be someone who stepped on Mars. Hell bury me there with a headstone and all
