I have been watching this get closer and they finally made it!

It will be interesting to see what they find. Though...I don't think they'll find any extraterrestrial life there. It's a big MAYBE. I'm not sure what they think they'll find...? Little green men with antennas and computers?

On the TV show, Smallville, there's occasionally an alien from Mars who has super powers who looks very human.

NearertoGod

Lol! Maybe they'll find a "man" on Mars and he'll say, "Howdy! Want a popsicle?"

I hope they post more pictures soon. It's a little anti-climatic that there's only 2 b & w's.

Still...pretty amazing to look at a photo and say "Wow...that's another planet!"

It's all exciting especially if there is the possibility of terraforming. We can put the first Christian colony on Mars.

NearertoGod

Yup! It's really pretty, isn't it? I know it would be a little while for us to find a way to stay on Mars for a prolonged amount of time, since the atmosphere is made up of poisonous carbon monoxide or dioxide I believe.

I think they tried Venus but with the high temperatures and the uninhabitable atmosphere, it wouldn't possible...unless they found someway to be able to stand it.

Something that many persons, including members of the scientific community, tend to forget is that microbial life from one planet can be carried to other planets by way of impact ejecta. ( < do a Google search on that term.)

If a meteor, comet or other large piece of space debris collides with an 'inhabited' planet, the high amount of planetary surface that gets ejected back into space because of the tremendous impact energy involved, may contain microbial life that can survive the vaccum of space and be deposited as meteorites on other planets. There are several on-going studies concerning this phenomenon and many website studies can be found regarding this topic. If the latest Mars Lander does find something, there is a very good possibility that it was of earthly origin in the first place.

I'm all for space exploration. Have been a wide eyed enthusiast since the Apollo missions when I was a kid. But, I don't know why we would ever need to consider living on another planet. I don't see it becoming a reality. There just isn't any need for it IMO.
