Earth water=Mars water!!

Well,it seems that Earth may have more in common with the red planet than you may have thought!we all know that the Earth and her sister planets formed from the dust and materials left after the sun formed.that is correct.we also know that once the Earth formed,the heavier materials such as Iron sank to the center of the Earth to become its liquid Iron core-therefore we have magnetism.and just after this happened,some of the planets started colliding with each other,and from one of those explosions with earth,the moon was formed.
But what was worrying the scientists for so long is where did all the water on earth come from.the early hot was so hot that it would have turned us to ash within microseconds.and then the creation of moon happened,that did not help matters along but it just over heated the already hot planet.okay,so where did the water come from?
According to some scientists,the water could have come from comets.but recently NASA sent a lander to impact on the comet and after an analysis was done,they found that the water contained on some of the comets differed quite a lot from earth water.so if not comets,then how?well it seems that during the birth of the sun and the solar system,most of the water regrouped in the region of the outer and inner asteroid belt and since it is quite cold there,they froze.anyway the scientists have concluded that as Jupiter formed,its huge gravity field changed the orbits of so many thousands of asteroids which all have impacted on one planet or the other.i tend to believe in this theory more than others especially when you take the watery world of Europa into consideration.so if we take it that the water or most of it came from asteroids which impacted onto a cooling Earth,then the same asteroids must have also impacted and gave water to Mars as well.if that is true,then the composition of water on Mars should not very that much at all from Earth water.the answer to this question is much nearer than you think.well,it will be answered by the Mars lander that NASA has sent to the red planet for studying the buried ice cap.
who knows,the water we drink everyday could very well turn out to be Martian water!

Phoenix blasts off with NASA hopes running high!

Today NASA blasted off Phoenix lander off to Mars,on a nine month journey during which the the Phoenix Mars Lander will travel 680 million Kms over nine months and land on the Red Planet on May 25 2008.NASA's hopes are running high and hopes that the success of the Phoenix mission may cover up some of the unpalatable stories of NASA that had hit the public of late.where to start,hmmm,i guess we can always start off when the misake was made in the metric measurements of one of the landers that led to the destruction of one of the earlier Mars landers.from there,we can always go on to the Columbia explosion.
NASA has been dogged by one goof up after another and of late they have had to face some damaging public media reports like the 'diaper' astronaut to the 'drunken' astronauts.one can only speculate that NASA's standard or rather the standard that it sets for itself and its astronauts is fast going downhill.the Phoenix mission is mainly to try ad prove that life did exist once upon a time in the Red planet.it is due to land in the polar regions of Mars and lets all hope and pray for NASA's sake that all goes well.any failure in this mission may have very serious consequences for the survival of NASA itself!

We are going to get a taste of Martian water!

NASA is going to send a mission to Mars come august titled 'phoenix'.this mission unlike other missions is going to be sent to the northern plains of Mars where the ice is alleged to be on the surface just slightly beneath the subsoil.this mission is all about ice,literally.the main objectives of this mission is to analyse the Martian ice for its components and any evidence of life in any form whatsoever.generally the scientists all believe that microbes should exist even in a barren atmosphere as long as water is present.
Well by next may[the landing time for Phoenix on mars] we will all know whether water exists on Mars and in a manner of speaking we would actually taste the martian water at least know what it is composed of.who knows,maybe in a few years we may even be drinking bottled martian water?!?
Phoenix is not going to have a soft landing according to NASA but instead going to crash into the northern plains of Mars.but unfortunately this time around,the camera would be left out of the mission.that is really too bad as those high res image of ice on Mars would be just fantastic.i guess we should all settle for just a telescopic image of the Martian polar cap for the moment.come next may,many of our earnest questions are going to be answered.whether water existed on mars and whether life is still there on Mars!

Mars rocks again!

Well now NASA is in the news again but for the right reasons this time around!this time,SPIRIT has found evidence that water once existed on Mars causing the people to gasp out alound at the conference.whether they gasped because mars once had water or for some other reason,i for one am sure glad that NASA made the news this time around for all the right reasons and not because of some diaper wearing kidnapper!
