Mars, Dead or Alive
The great PBS science series Nova scores another hit with Mars: Dead or Alive, capturing all the excitement surrounding the Mars rover landings of early 2004.
Originally broadcast as the first of the twin rovers (“Spirit” and “Opportunity”) was experiencing temporary problems of communication with mission controllers Land of wheels, this fascinating hour-long episode chronicles the risky 820,000. $ 000
Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project from design to touchdown, dramatically illustrating (through the use of detailed simulations and sophisticated computer animation) the considerable chances of failure-a nail-biting game considering never fully two-thirds of all previous Mars missions reached their destination.
Through rigorous testing and initial failure of the MER parachute system to the transmission of photos celebrating the landing site pristine “Spirit”, we see how intensely complex and emotionally involving the missions, especially for an astronomer at Cornell University chief scientist Steve Squyres and MER and his dedicated team of colleagues at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
The races are on the line as technical problems accumulate, and you feel the same mixture of fear, anxiety and euphoria that accompanied the historic return of Apollo 13. A bonus interview with the Mars mission pioneer Donna Shirley puts everything into perspective resonance, celebrating science and the MER missions as an essential human activity.
Mars, Dead or Alive,
@konman001 2.Hercules was born of a divine father and mortal mother and was known as the savior of the world. Prophets foretold his birth and claimed he would be a king, which started a search by a leader who wanted to kill him. He walked on water and told his mother, “Don’t cry, I’m going to heaven.” when he died. As he passed he said, “It is finished.”

@konman001(These are according to their text; I don’t believe any of them but since the story of JC takes from these stories; I don’t believe it either.) 1. Asklepios healed the sick, raised the dead, and was known as the savior and redeemer.
I can give you 10 reasons why JC’s story was made up. Each example was written before the story of Jesus was written and each story was told and known before the period that Jesus supposedly lived. Scholars, both Christian and non-Christian agree on the time of these so you may question if this is enough proof but you can’t question if the facts unless you question the history of the Bible itself based on the church’s claims on when it was written. Are you ready for the proof?

great song
konman001 has spoken “Mars is DEAD”, the issue is settled, PERIOD. With people like konman001 we would still be vegans, eat and shit the whole day and scratch the lice out of our arses while sitting on a tree branch
BTW not everybody is saying that your god did not create life, you’re not!
@demonikreaper – You wouldn’t believe in God if he put you thru an 8.9 earthquake and then dumped a 50mph tsunami wave( with 30 foot wall of trash, cars, roofs and dead bodies). I am pretty sure you would cry like a 13 year old japanese girl screaming “oh god!, oh god!” but then eventually you’d go back acting like an accident-made-monkey full of pomp and hatred for God.Repent or burn in hell after you die.

@konman001 As I said, if you want to believe the word of man written thousands of years ago, that’s fine. But NASA is doing more than just “getting funding for its member’s jobs”, they are expanding our knowledge of our Universe.
We don’t yet know what’s there on Mars, but we know there are certain locations that have enough of the requirements we know of to support life on Earth present on Mars. The progress of science is unstoppable, our thirst for knowledge and understanding of our Universe is unquenchable.

We were not created by any entity with evidence that can be verified or replicated in the lab. It’s all anecdotal or faith-based, and that is simply not how science works. If you’d like to believe that a god created you, go ahead, there’s nothing wrong with that. But scientists are always working on new theories and testing new ideas. We have evidence that Mars was, at one point, a habitable planet. There are elements there that we know life needs to survive.

wow u got some meaning overthere. doesnt it sounds like landing on the third rock from the sun?
@demonikreaper – Mars is DEAD. . . that is the issue.Saying “gee there could be life” is just a means for NASA to get funding to support its members’ jobs.Everybody is trying everything they can to say that God did not create life. . .that we were not created by God.
