I was watching a show today about the Channeled Scablands. Scientists believe it only took some 48 to 72 hours to created them after the breaking of an ice dam.
They think the flow was equal to the combined output of every river on the planet times 10,000.

Not to mention 2 meters of ash in a number of surrounding states, perhaps as far as the Mississippi.

Europa is the moon that will eventually make mars habitable once the
planet has condensed enough to hold in an atmosphere. In about 10-million years.
By then I'm sure our human race will have the Tech to move it into crash orbit. We'll
have to figure out that Gravity thing first.

You know that Europa is orbiting Jupiter, right? Nowhere near Mars.

The fertile soil of the Willamette Valley was once the soil in Eastern Washington. Flushed down the Columbia River Gorge, and backed up a couple hundred miles.

Yea, but it's the only ice moon nearest Mars with enough water to drench Mars
and create an atmosphere.

I can’t imagine any technology we’d ever develop capable of moving any of Jupiter’s moons anywhere but right in to Jupiter itself.
Once locked in to that giant’s embrace there is no force within the grasp of humanity that could move something so massive as a moon, nor send it out of the grip of Jupiter’s awesome gravity.
Even less likely would be our ability to target it’s movement well enough to drench tiny Mars without sending the moon careening on a crazy orbit to God knows where.
Perhaps in science fiction, but impossible in reality.

I was being ironic. “Illustrating absurdity by being absurd,” as Rush would say.

I’m getting old and dense I guess.

It’s not your fault. Irony doesn’t always work in text form, as I’ve found out many a time.
