NASA funding time again?
Obviously caused by global warming....err... I mean universal warming...
It’s unreasonable for a planet with an atmosphere to experience weather, tectonic action, or the impact of bolides. I don’t know what Mars was thinking when it pulled this little stunt.
Similar to gaseous clouds around Uranus?
the plumes are just the exhaust jet trails
Mars is a hollow spacecraft
(That’s how the Ferengi brought Obama here...)
Cue end of “Total Recall”.
It is earth pollution...
It’s the cloud of hate from that episode of The Twilight Zone. It arrived the day we planted the flag on Mars and has been growing ever since.
Martian Warming!
It’s those damn NASA V-8 dune buggy rovers!
Its a well known idea that deep beneath the surface of Mars lies huge Martian military and societal centers which house the population of Mars in a state of induced cryogenic stasis. The vast array of such complexes are powered by nuclear power plants and are regulated by advanced computer technologies.
Defensive technologies have detected the probes sent from the planet earth and they have kick started defensive protocols on Mars, the first of which is to “terra form” the Martian atmosphere and restore it to it’s previous surface inhabitable state.
Once that’s accomplished, (it’ll take about 6 of our months, the Martian population will be revived and brought back to duty to man attack space craft with an aim to destroy those who sent the probes in the first place.
The “End Game” has begun!
Don’t tell me the guys who know all about weather can figure out what this is?
Send another billion to Gore, and a few more trillion to the government. They’ll make it all okay.
I’m not saying it’s aliens...
Pretty soon, those cylinders will start falling to earth, and then we'll be in deep trouble.
Looks like a big dust storm.
I believe H.G. Wells started Wars of the Worlds with astromomers seeing explosions on the surface of Mars.
I hope that there is no tailpipe on the Martian rover...pollution can lead to global warming you know...:)
Dune buggies?
