fyi
So, should we send Al G(b)ore there to do a documentary about global warming?
Until the Martians started driving SUV’s, glaciers were fairly common on Mars.
Hopefully, a 1 way ticket.
I’ll pack his baggage (which will probably break my back, but worth it to send him away).
He needs to take his private jet with him.
It may be martian poop to?
And let’s not forget Tipper (and while he’s at it, he could take Michael Moore with him).
I wonder what his nickname is.....
Putting Moore into space would upset the gravitational balance of our solar system. It would be a very bad thing.
Herzog?
Sublimation is not instantaneous. A mass of ice can last for a very long time.
Perhaps we could set the space craft for a couse to the nearest black hole?
Very cool. Thanks!
The water subsequently froze over and glaciers developed, the researcher from the Free University in Berlin, Germany, explained. Not all researchers share his view of events. Some believe that snowfall causes glaciers to develop on Mars, as it does on Earth. But Gerhard Neukum thinks there is too little precipitation on the Red Planet for this to be the case.10K to 100K age doesn't mean current activity. :') These events are due to shortlived heating events, such as are caused by impact (or possible volcanism, but Mars is volcanically speaking a dud as far as anyone knows); water ices in the soil go straight to vapor, creating a very temporary and outward-moving microclimate, allowing liquid water and mudslides (liquefaction) to exist for a short period. As soon as the vapor dissipated, back to ice it went. :') Thanks Ernest.

The first humans to set foot on Mars could be reading this. My advice is as follows: Do not go to that place unarmed. You will not find anything walking around on the surface of the place. Inside those megaliths, inside the glassy tunnels, or at the bottom of that big trench it’s still unlikely but not altogethe rimpossible, you might come across a rat or a cockroach and because of the weaker gravity, the rat or cockroach might be ten feet long, and dialing 911 won’t help. What you want is one of those lever-action Marlin 45/70s.
“Duke”?
Yes, it depends on the surface to volume ratio and the temperature. Nonetheless, over geological periods of time you wouldn't expect a glacier to last.
Fascinating. bmflr
