PASADENA, Calif. -- Observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed possible flowing water during the warmest months on Mars.
"NASA's Mars Exploration Program keeps bringing us closer to determining whether the Red Planet could harbor life in some form,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, “and it reaffirms Mars as an important future destination for human exploration."
Dark, finger-like features appear and extend down some Martian slopes during late spring through summer, fade in winter, and return during the next spring. Repeated observations have tracked the seasonal changes in these recurring features on several steep slopes in the middle latitudes of Mars' southern hemisphere.
I'm of the opinion, we'll eventually run out of resources on this globe. Interplanetary and eventually, interstellar travel will ensure survival of the human species.
First, we'll have to survive our own inane politics and learn to cooperate, bridging the divides on earth in order to summon the will to cross the gulf between here...and there.
