Water is just hydrogen and oxygen mixed.....

Lol, Im afraid no new metals will be found. You might get lucky and see a higher concentration of an element on a particular planet but no new nuclear fuel source or anything like that.

One word...Helium 3.

 

[dogman_1234]

Helium 3....c'mon! Really? We need moar fer our fuzorz!

Are you suggesting we clone Sam Rockwell and have him harvest H3 for us?

There are elements that put gold diamonds etc to shame by weight, having a large, and or more pure supply of these would be extremely beneficial, especially if most the work comes free of charge, and also wont effect markets too much here

[dogman_1234]

If I am not mistaken, He3 cost about 100 billion USD per tonne. think about harvesting 100 tonnes of this stuff!

JDJ, again, what are you trying to say?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

"There are elements that put gold diamonds etc to shame by weight, having a large, and or more pure supply of these would be extremely beneficial, especially if most the work comes free of charge, and also wont effect markets too much here "
As I said, and this includes He3, which is a known element in quantity on the moon

 

[dogman_1234]

He3 would affect the market. Since it is an excellent fusible material, we could have energy for the next century purely off of He3!

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

It would, but you have to add in the additional cost vs scarcity, allowing for a possible degradation of the market due to availability, but would still remain viable due mainly to demand as more becomes available.
And there are others.
Hope it happens, its how the spacers et al in my sci fi reading started, as we moved off the 3rd stone from the sun

Good song!

Also, the more we do mucking around in space, the more chance we will catch the attention of the others.

Full color panorama view of Mars.

 

[dogman_1234]

Computer error maybe?

Anyways. It is nice to see what our neighbour looks like. Hope to see more cool things along the way!

 

[wanamingo]

It kinda looks like they were blacking out some of the hardware.....

Or maybe because its a panorama the camera took many small pics and "Stitched" them together. Because it definitely doesnt look like one smooth picture.





FYI clicking on the pic bring you to the original much larger one.

 

[johnsonma]

They cut out the aliens.......

 

[dogman_1234]

...or bigfoot...

There has bee sightings of bigfoot on mars. He must have some alien technology that teleports him to the red planet. I heard he has a great retreat house there on the south side.

I knew someone would catch the reference, should have really put a spoiler before the whole clone thing.
