KSB2424 3,082 Posted February 26, 2021 There is a ton more video from the rover on Mars. I find it fascinating. How is this not the opening story on the nightly news? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm an amateur space geek and I too find all this fascinating. I'm not shocked by the lack of coverage though. Just look at the board, this thread has been up since Monday and not even 20 replies yet. Between TDS and BDS, there's not much room on the plates of many for much else.

They didn't spend $2.5B to find current life on Mars. This mission was all about analyzing current conditions, searching for signs of past life, understanding the biology of the planet.

I’m just saying why people aren’t excited about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scientists have downplayed Mars to the point where now everyone expects nothing but rocks, sand and maybe frozen water. So no one cares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,069 Posted February 26, 2021 Mars is cool, but I'd be more interested in Jupiter. It's amazing that the surface is practically clouds and what not, at temperatures in the -200's, yet, the core is hotter than the sun. Very intriguing. You'd have to think that as some point through all of the layers of the planet, living conditions would have to be similar to life on Earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
