Re: NASA finds Masses of Water on Mars !!!!! (Southern Man)

Sorry to break in on your dream but next you need energy. If I put you is a dark freezer with an ice cube and a Swiss Army Knife, you aren?t going to make rocket fuel. You might even starve to death before you figured out how to turn that ice cube into nutrition. Mars is farther from the sun meaning it is darker. It is very cold. It has very little atmosphere and that is almost all CO2.

Mars is at about 1.4AU, so the solar energy available is half what it is at earth. Solar panels need to be twice as large.

CO2 atmosphere just means that a source of carbon is close at hand and easy to get.

Now to find a source of nitrogen. . .
