UFO Expert Spots Stonehenge-Like Structure On MarsBy Ted Ranosa, Tech Times | September 26,2015 A Stonehenge-like structure on Mars dubbed as 'Marshenge' has been spotted by a UFO expert on an image captured by the HiRISE. YouTube user Mister Enigma explains his claims in a video. (Photo : Mister Enigma | YouTube A circle of stones similar to the Stonehenge is claimed to have been discovered on Mars by a UFO expert, adding a theory that those who built the structure on Earth could have also built it on the red planet. The alien expert based his claims on a high-resolution image, taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) Mars orbiter, which is currently circulating the internet. The image shows a structure of stones dubbed as 'Marshenge'. YouTube user Mister Enigma claimed to have spotted a formation of large clusters of stones positioned on a circular mound. The arrangement of the stones has formed concentric circles and within the circles, a square pattern is created. He said that the formation is not an exact match of the Stonehenge, but he found it strange that the area is possibly similar to the structure here on Earth. Scott C. Waring from UFO Sightings Daily said that he had seen the formation many times on photos. He explained that sometimes the formations included big rocks or even smaller ones, but were only positioned on small hills.

They're expected to announce that a source of free flowing water has been found..which changes everything. Mars could be colonized if that's the case.

www.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/science/space/mars-life-liquid-water.html NASA Says Signs of Liquid Water Flowing on MarsBy KENNETH CHANG / topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/kenneth_chang/index.html?action=click&contentCollection=Space%20%26%20Cosmos&module=Byline®ion=Header&pgtype=articleSEPT. 28, 2015 Despite its reputation as a forebodingly dusty, desolate and lifeless place, Mars seems to be a little bit wet even today. Scientists reported on Monday definitive signs of liquid water on the surface of present-day Mars, a finding that will fuel speculation that life, if it ever arose there, could persist to now. “This, I think, gives a focus of where we should look more closely,” said Alfred S. McEwen, a professor of planetary geology at the University of Arizona and the principal investigator of images from a high-resolution camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Dr. McEwen and other scientists identified waterlogged molecules — salts of a type known as perchlorates — in readings from orbit. “That’s a direct detection of water in the form of hydration of salts,” Dr. McEwen said. “There pretty much has to have been liquid water recently present to produce the hydrated salt.” By “recently,” Dr. McEwen said he meant “days, something of that order.” Dark narrow streaks, up to a few hundred yards long, are seen along many slopes on Mars including Garni Crater. The identification of waterlogged salts in these streaks fits with the idea that they are formed by the underground flow of briny water that wets the surface. Credit Jet Propulsion Laboratory/University of Arizona/NASA Though young Mars was inundated by rivers, lakes and maybe even an ocean a few billion years ago, the modern moisture is modest. Scientists have long known that large amounts of water remain — but frozen solid in the polar ice caps. There have been fleeting hints of recent liquid water, like fresh-looking gullies, but none have proved convincing. In 2011, Dr. McEwen and colleagues discovered in photographs from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter dark streaks descending along slopes of craters, canyons and mountains. The streaks lengthened during summer, faded as temperatures cooled, then reappeared the next year. They named the streaks recurrent slope linae, or R.S.L.s, and many thousands of them have now been spotted. “It’s really surprisingly extensive,” Dr. McEwen said. Scientists suspected that water played a critical role in the phenomenon, perhaps similar to the way concrete darkens when wet, with no change in the shape of the surface, and returns to its original color when dry. But that was just an educated guess. Lujendra Ojha, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, turned to another instrument on the orbiter that identifies types of molecules by which colors of light they absorb. But this instrument, a spectrometer, is not as sharp as the camera, making it hard to zoom in on readings from the narrow R.S.L.s. “We had to come up with new techniques and novel ways to do analysis of the chemical signature,” said Mr. Ojha, the lead author of the Nature Geoscience article. The researchers were able to identify the telltale sign of a hydrated salt at four locations. In addition, the signs of the salt disappeared when the streaks faded. “It’s very definitive there is some sort of liquid water,” Mr. Ojha said. The perchlorate salts lower the freezing temperature, and the water remains liquid. The average temperature of Mars is about minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit, but summer days near the Equator can reach an almost balmy 70. Many mysteries remain. For one, scientists do not know where the water is coming from. “There are two basic origins for the water: from above or from below,” Dr. McEwen said. The perchlorates could be acting like a sponge, absorbing moisture out of the air, but measurements indicate very low humidity on Mars — only enough for 10 microns, or about 1/2,500th of an inch, of rain across the planet if all of the wetness were wrung out of the air.

Yes, life on Earth did originate in the ocean. That's where most life would originate. Salty ocean water is pretty much the same as a big giant petri dish just waiting for life to evolve. Since all the planets evolve through the same process and since they are all made up of the same minerals and elements (including water) there is a very good possibility that life would evolve on all of them. Life may very well be an inevitable consequence of the formation of the planets, not unique to earth but common everywhere.

3 billion years ago it may have had a huge ocean..now..it's lost it's atmosphere and it's abundant water sources. What it has left I believe most of the time is frozen or that's what I read. Man said under certain circumstances there is flowing water but we can't send the rover in to test it because of contamination.

www.nasa.gov/feature/five-orion-technologies-that-will-help-us-get-home-from-marsOct. 1, 2015 Five Orion Technologies That Will Help Us Get Home From MarsOrion is a key piece of NASA’s journey to Mars. The spacecraft, which was first tested in space last year, will enable crew to travel to deep space on the journey to the Red Planet and bring astronauts home safely. It’s a critical technology we’ll use to help NASA test, demonstrate and hone the skills and capabilities we need to operate farther and farther away from Earth. Environmental Control and Life Support SystemsWater. Air. A temperate environment. A bathroom. These are some of the things astronauts need to survive the long journey back to Earth from Mars. NASA has developed an environmental control and life support system on the International Space Station and is designing such a system for Orion. The system can recycle carbon dioxide and make it back into useable air and process urine to make it into potable water, for example. Right now on the space station, engineers and astronauts are testing a filtering system for efficiency and reliability on long-duration missions. The investigation uses an amine-based chemical compound combined with the vacuum of space to filter and renew cabin air for breathing. When astronauts travel home from Mars, they won’t be able to count on the arrival of spare parts or extra supplies if something breaks or gets depleted, so engineers are hard at work developing reliable and robust technologies to keep crews alive and healthy in space. Radiation protectionAstronauts traveling to and from Mars will be far away from the protective shield of Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, and their spacecraft and its systems will need to be able to protect against the full spectrum of space radiation. NASA is working now to develop protective methods. Orion will use items already on board to protect the crew and create a temporary shelter in the aft bay of the spacecraft, which is the inside portion closest to the heat shield. This location minimizes the amount of equipment to move around while maximizing the amount of material that can be placed between the crew and the outside environment. The items that will be used include supplies, equipment and launch and re-entry seats as well as water and food. By using the items already on board, the astronauts benefit from additional shielding without adding to Orion’s mass.

NASA Releases Plan Outlining Next Steps in the Journey to Mars Oct. 8, 2015
NASA is leading our nation and the world on a journey to Mars, and Thursday the agency released a detailed outline of that plan in its report, “NASA’s Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration.”
“NASA is closer to sending American astronauts to Mars than at any point in our history,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. “Today, we are publishing additional details about our journey to Mars plan and how we are aligning all of our work in support of this goal. In the coming weeks, I look forward to continuing to discuss the details of our plan with members of Congress, as well as our commercial and our international and partners, many of whom will be attending the International Astronautical Congress next week.”
The plan can be read online at:
go.nasa.gov/1VHDXxg
The journey to Mars crosses three thresholds, each with increasing challenges as humans move farther from Earth. NASA is managing these challenges by developing and demonstrating capabilities in incremental steps:
Earth Reliant exploration is focused on research aboard the International Space Station. From this world-class microgravity laboratory, we are testing technologies and advancing human health and performance research that will enable deep space, long duration missions.
In the Proving Ground, NASA will learn to conduct complex operations in a deep space environment that allows crews to return to Earth in a matter of days. Primarily operating in cislunar space—the volume of space around the moon featuring multiple possible stable staging orbits for future deep space missions—NASA will advance and validate capabilities required for humans to live and work at distances much farther away from our home planet, such as at Mars.
Earth Independent activities build on what we learn on the space station and in deep space to enable human missions to the Mars vicinity, possibly to low-Mars orbit or one of the Martian moons, and eventually the Martian surface. Future Mars missions will represent a collaborative effort between NASA and its partners—a global achievement that marks a transition in humanity’s expansion as we go to Mars to seek the potential for sustainable life beyond Earth.
“NASA’s strategy connects near-term activities and capability development to the journey to Mars and a future with a sustainable human presence in deep space,” said William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Human Exploration and Operations at NASA Headquarters. “This strategy charts a course toward horizon goals, while delivering near-term benefits, and defining a resilient architecture that can accommodate budgetary changes, political priorities, new scientific discoveries, technological breakthroughs, and evolving partnerships.”
NASA is charting new territory, and we will adapt to new scientific discoveries and new opportunities. Our current efforts are focused on pieces of the architecture that we know are needed. In parallel, we continue to refine an evolving architecture for the capabilities that require further investigation. These efforts will define the next two decades on the journey to Mars.
CHALLENGES FOR SPACE PIONEERS Living and working in space require accepting risks—and the journey to Mars is worth the risks. A new and powerful space transportation system is key to the journey, but NASA also will need to learn new ways of operating in space, based on self-reliance and increased system reliability. We will use proving ground missions to validate transportation and habitation capabilities as well as new operational approaches to stay productive in space while reducing reliance on Earth.
We identify the technological and operational challenges in three categories: transportation, sending humans and cargo through space efficiently, safely, and reliably; working in space, enabling productive operations for crew and robotic systems; and staying healthy, developing habitation systems that provide safe, healthy, and sustainable human exploration. Bridging these three categories are the overarching logistical challenges facing crewed missions lasting up to 1,100 days and exploration campaigns that span decades.
STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS PIONEERING CHALLENGES NASA is investing in powerful capabilities and state-of-the-art technologies that benefit both NASA and our industry partners while minimizing overall costs through innovative partnerships. Through our evolvable transportation infrastructure, ongoing spaceflight architecture studies, and rapid prototyping activities, we are developing resilient architecture concepts that focus on critical capabilities across a range of potential missions. We are investing in technologies that provide large returns, and maximizing flexibility and adaptability through commonality, modularity, and reusability.
On the space station, we are advancing human health and behavioral research for Mars-class missions. We are pushing the state-of-the-art life support systems, printing 3-D parts, and analyzing material handling techniques for in-situ resource utilization. The upcoming eighth SpaceX commercial resupply services mission will launch the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, a capability demonstration for inflatable space habitats.
With the Space Launch System, Orion crewed spacecraft, and revitalized space launch complex, we are developing core transportation capabilities for the journey to Mars and ensuring continued access for our commercial crew and cargo partners to maintain operations and stimulate new economic activity in low-Earth orbit. This secured U.S. commercial access to low-Earth orbit allows NASA to continue leveraging the station as a microgravity test bed while preparing for missions in the proving ground of deep space and beyond.
Through the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), we will demonstrate an advanced solar electric propulsion capability that will be a critical component of our journey to Mars. ARM will also provide an unprecedented opportunity for us to validate new spacewalk and sample handling techniques as astronauts investigate several tons of an asteroid boulder – potentially opening new scientific discoveries about the formation of our solar system and beginning of life on Earth
We are managing and directing the ground-based facilities and services provided by the Deep Space Network (DSN), Near Earth Network (NEN), and Space Network (SN) – critical communications capabilities that we continue to advance for human and robotic communication throughout the solar system.
Through our robotic emissaries, we have already been on and around Mars for 40 years, taking nearly every opportunity to send orbiters, landers, and rovers with increasingly complex experiments and sensing systems. These orbiters and rovers have returned vital data about the Martian environment, helping us understand what challenges we may face and resources we may encounter. The revolutionary Curiosity sky crane placed nearly one metric ton – about the size of a small car – safely on the surface of Mars, but we need to be able to land at least 10 times that weight with humans – and then be able to get them off the surface.
These challenges are solvable, and NASA and its partners are working on the solutions every day so we can answer some of humanity’s fundamental questions about life beyond Earth: Was Mars home to microbial life? Is it today? Could it be a safe home for humans one day? What can it teach us about life elsewhere in the cosmos or how life began on Earth? What can it teach us about Earth’s past, present and future?
The journey to Mars is an historic pioneering endeavor—a journey made possible by a sustained effort of science and exploration missions beyond low-Earth orbit with successively more capable technologies and partnerships.

www.ancient-code.com/nasa-revealed-alarming-facts-about-alien-life-on-mars/ NASA revealed alarming facts about Alien life on Marsby Ivan Petricevic / www.ancient-code.com/author/ivanpetricevic/October 9, 2015 NASA has been really busy on Mars lately. In the last couple of years our entire views about Mars changed drastically: from a desolate planet thought to be dry and dead, today we see Mars as the next best thing close to Earth. All of a sudden, everyone loves Mars, and everyone is talking about the red planet. But what do NASA scientists say about the red planet? There’s water… liquid water on Mars!Not long ago, NASA scientists finally admitted that the red planet has actual rivers of flowing water on its surface. According to Lujdendra Ojha, a planetary scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology who made the discovery using images from NASA’s MRO, the red planet has liquid water on the surface. This discovery changed everything we thought about the red planet. And all of a sudden the possibility of Alien life somewhere on the red planet isn’t that far away. “Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past … [and] liquid water has been found on Mars.” – James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences Yes it is very possible that somewhere on Mars, there is extraterrestrial life – All options open “The possibility of life in the interior of Mars has always been very high. There’s certainly water somewhere in the crust of Mars … It’s very likely, I think, that there is life somewhere in the crust of Mars.” – Alfred McEwen, Principal Investigator, HiRISE, University of Arizona (30:25) Of course there are those who believe that in the distant past, the red planet was inhabited by intelligent civilizations. Dr Brandeburg, who has a PhD in Theoretical Plasma Physics from the University of California believes that there is enough evidence to prove that at least two major nuclear blast went off on the surface of the red planet in the distant past. The theory proposed by Dr. Brandenburg is based on the traces of uranium and thorium that have been registered on the surface of Mars. This Martian civilization was wiped out by another hostile alien race from elsewhere in the universe. Dr Brandenburg warns that our civilization could face the same faith.

The Curiosity rover photographed Earth from Mars on Jan. 31 using the left-eye camera on its head-like science mast. You can see a video of Curiosity's Earth-from-Mars images here. www.space.com/24594-curiosity-sees-earth-and-moon-from-mars-surface-video.htmlThe rover apparently watched the Martian sunset, then photographed Earth in the night sky about 80 minutes later, NASA officials said in an image description. [Amazing Photos of Earth from Space (Gallery)] "A human observer with normal vision, if standing on Mars, could easily see Earth and the moon as two distinct, bright 'evening stars,'" NASA officials said in the image description. Aside from some processing to remove the effects of cosmic rays, the Curiosity photographs are unmodified, they added. The Mars rover Curiosity snapped the photos of Earth from Mars during its 529th day on the Martian surface. The $2.5 billion rover has been exploring the vast Gale Crater on Mars since August 2012.

www.ancient-code.com/a-dome-on-mars-the-opportunity-rover-captures-the-most-mysterious-image-of-the-red-planet/ A Dome on Mars: The Opportunity rover captures the most mysterious image of the red planetThis could be one of the most incredible images ever taken on the surface of the red planet. Look closely at the image and what’s the first thing you think of? Doesn’t that thing in the image look like a dome on Mars? Plans to settle on the red planet are connected to artistic concepts of domes which according to scientists could prove to be one of the most reliable options for settling on the red planet. But… is it possible that there are already domes on the surface of Mars? If so… who created them? According to an image captured by NASA’s Opportunity rover, there are domes on the red planet, which means that there is something or better said someone on Mars, or there was. No, it’s not a fake image if that’s what you think. The image, taken by the rover’s paannamic camera can be viewed on the website of NASA (Sol 4073). In the mysterious image you can clearly see a semi-sphere protruding the upper part of the hill. Ufologists say that there isn’t a chance that we are looking at a natural formation here, and we agree. It doesn’t look natural at all. Better yet, if we zoom into the can see small dark circles evenly distributed at the base of the structure. Is this some sort of dome on Mars or is pareidolia playing tricks on our mind again? The mysterious dome does not seem to be a natural formation since, according to Ufologists and ufo hunters, the surrounding rocks are very different from the mysterious dome. But… what if the Martian ‘dome’ is in fact the tip of the top of another hill located in the background? But if so… what kind of natural phenomenon would create such a ‘perfect’ shape? The dome-like object seems to be inconsistent with the surrounding terrain and incredibly stands out in the image taken by the Opportunity rover.

Here are 7 of the spookiest things seen on the red planet.Number 7 – A spoon. Though created through geological activity, this feature's resemblance to an eating utensil is tough to deny. Adding to its creepiness is that it inexplicably seems to be floating above the rocky surface. Number 6 – Mystery woman. Some believe this figure is a cloaked alien ghost. Others say the form is a statue by a long gone advanced civilization. There are also some who believe the woman is nothing more than a random patch of dirt. Number 5 – Crashed UFO. More specifically, a downed craft that resembles the Star Destroyer from Star Wars. Of course, what the object is remains unknown, but believers do offer assurances that if it is indeed a fallen vessel, there likely weren't many casualties or injuries. At an estimated width of 9 feet, only 2 to 3 passengers could have fit inside. Number 4 – Marshenge. Just like Stonehenge, the rocks are arranged in a circular pattern. The gathering could have appeared as a result of eons of winds and erosion. The structure also could have been built as a burial site for those who ruled Mars as the planet's livability rapidly waned. Verdict is still out. Number 3 – A mermaid. To some the object looks like little more than a rock outcropping. To one group of space enthusiasts the formation looks a little too much like the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen to be a coincidence. They theorize ancient Martians may have once colonized Scandinavia. Number 2 – A helmet. If the object were ever found to be actual headgear, there would be some rather chilling implications. One, of course, is that there was once a life form on Mars that had a head. Another is that the entity felt the need to protect it, perhaps from enemy combatants. Number 1 – Pyramid. At about the size of a car, the pointed structure doesn't offer much competition to the massive, similarly shaped tomb complexes in Egypt. That is, of course, unless the rest of the Martian building is buried beneath the sand. The question remains if ancient Egypt colonized Mars or vice versa. www.aol.com/article/2015/10/08/7-of-the-spookiest-things-seen-on-mars/21246864/?cps=gravity_4816_-8508306731125998004

LOOK! Huge Underground Base Entrances Found On Mars In Google Earth by DAHBOO77 Published on Dec 5, 2015 www.undergroundworldnews.comEvery time an amazing discovery is made on Mars, They quickly tell the sheep it is a rock or shadow! Time and time again, They try to make excuses for the objects being discovered all over Mars. This time, they are not fooling anyone by saying its just rock formations. No doubt, some of the small minded out there will bye NASA Lies til the Great Deception! But for those out there with an open mind, And that know we are being lied to, This find speaks volumes! These entrances are all different when it comes to the fine detail. Some of them even seem to have something inside! The best way to find them is to follow the directions in the video! I found at least 7 that stand out solid. I also found more that were clearly covered up partially by a crappy photoshop job. Regardless, THEY ARE THERE! Shout Out to FindingUFO and Sandra Andrade on the Initial find. After doing some searching, i discovered many of these entrances. At this point its rather obvious that there was at least intelligent life on mars in the past. These are of the secrets they are keeping from the masses! The only way your going to find the truth is to go digging and looking for it! Don't be fooled by the coming Deception! Stay tuned for more! Eyes to the Skies! www.undergroundworldnews.com

www.ancient-code.com/mysterious-artificial-light-appears-on-nasas-mars-image/Mysterious ‘artificial’ light appears on NASA’s Mars imageThe high-resolution camera of one of the NASA rovers exploring the red planet has detected a very mysterious bright ‘light’ in the Martian horizon of unknown origin. Researchers are unsure as to what this mysterious phenomenon is and are still investigating all possibilities, even though like with many other images that show anomalies on Mars, this one too will most likely be forgotten. The photograph in question, taken over a year ago has been analyzed by scientists at the US space agency at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, without any luck as they have failed to answer what causes the mysterious bright light that appears to be coming from underground. No official statements have been made regarding the image. The photograph from the Martian horizon was released by Scott C. Waring, a specialist who deals with similar phenomenon investigating space, Mars, and our Moon on his website, UFO Sightings Daily. Most striking, as noted in the description, is that the light is shining on the bottom upwards and does not seem to be an error in the image itself. Scott Warring wrote: “This could indicate that three could be intelligent life living underground and this image is the ultimate evidence. The bright light seen cannot be caused by the sunshine nor by a photographic effect“. Interestingly, the image was taken in Kimberly, a region on Mars which was believed to have important evidence of the past on Mars.

'Mixed Reality' Technology Brings Mars to Earth NASA and Microsoft have teamed up to create "Destination: Mars," a guided tour of Mars using the same Hololens technology that helps scientists plan the Curiosity rover's activities. What might it look like if you were walking around on Mars? A group of researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, has been working on methods to take this question from the realm of imagination to the mind-bending domain of mixed reality. As a result, NASA and Microsoft have teamed up to offer the public a guided tour of an area of Mars with astronaut Buzz Aldrin this summer in "Destination: Mars," an interactive exhibit using the Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headset. "Mixed reality" means that virtual elements are merged with the user's actual environment, creating a world in which real and virtual objects can interact. The "Destination: Mars" exhibit will open at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida this summer. Guests will "visit" several sites on Mars, reconstructed using real imagery from NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover, which has been exploring the Red Planet since August 2012. Buzz Aldrin, an Apollo 11 astronaut who walked on the moon in 1969, will serve as “holographic tour guide” on the journey. Curiosity Mars rover driver Erisa Hines of JPL will also appear holographically, leading participants to places on Mars where scientists have made exciting discoveries and explaining what we have learned about the planet. “This experience lets the public explore Mars in an entirely new way. To walk through the exact landscape that Curiosity is roving across puts its achievements and discoveries into beautiful context,” said Doug Ellison, visualization producer at JPL. "Destination: Mars" is an adaptation of OnSight, a Mars rover mission operations tool co-developed by Microsoft and JPL. A pilot group of scientists uses OnSight in their work supporting the Curiosity Mars rover's operations. "We're excited to give the public a chance to see Mars using cutting-edge technologies that help scientists plan Curiosity's activities on Mars today," said Jeff Norris, project manager for OnSight and "Destination: Mars" at JPL. "While freely exploring the terrain, participants learn about processes that have shaped this alien world." Abigail Fraeman, a Curiosity science team member at JPL, uses OnSight to make recommendations about where the rover should drive and which features to study in more detail. Recently OnSight helped her and a colleague identify the transition point between two Martian rock formations, which they would like to study in further detail. "OnSight makes the whole process of analyzing the data feel a lot more natural to me," Fraeman said. "It really gives me the sense that I'm in the field when I put it on. Thinking about Martian geology is a lot more intuitive when I can stand in the scene and walk around the way I would if I were in the field." By utilizing the same technologies and datasets as OnSight, "Destination: Mars" offers participants a glimpse of Mars as seen by mission scientists. JPL is also developing mixed reality applications in support of astronauts on the International Space Station and engineers responsible for the design and assembly of spacecraft. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who recently returned from his historic "Year in Space" activities, used one of these applications to make the first Skype call from space to mission control in February 2016. "By connecting astronauts to experts on the ground, mixed reality could be transformational for scientific and engineering efforts in space," Norris said. “As we prepare to send humans to Mars in the 2030s, the public will now be able to preview the experience the astronauts will have as they walk and study the Martian surface,” said Dave Lavery, program executive for Solar System Exploration at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Credit: NASA Establishing a human settlement on Mars has been the fevered dream of space agencies for some time. Long before NASA announced its “Journey to Mars” – a plan that outlined the steps that need to be taken to mount a manned mission by the 2030s – the agency’s was planning how a crewed mission could lead to the establishing of stations on the planet’s surface. And it seems that in the coming decades, this could finally become a reality. But when it comes to establishing a permanent colony – another point of interest when it comes to Mars missions – the coming decades might be a bit too soon. Such was the message during a recent colloquium hosted by NASA’s Future In-Space Operations (FISO) working group. Titled “Selecting a Landing Site for Humans on Mars”, this presentation set out the goals for NASA’s manned mission in the coming decades. Established in 2006 by the then-active FISO Working Group, the FISO lecture series is intended as an innovative outreach effort, helping leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering and space exploration connect with the public. Held on March 16th, the colloquium touched on a number of issues which were raised at the the First Landing Site/Exploration Zone Workshop for Human Missions to the Surface of Mars – which took place in October of 2015 at the Lunar Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, TX.

Opportunity Rover Makes Tracks Ahead of Dust Devil (Photo)By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer April 5, 2016 NASA's Opportunity Mars rover captured this image of its tracks and a distant dust devil on April 1, 2016. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA's Mars rover Opportunity is no storm chaser.A photo snapped by Opportunity Friday (April 1) shows the six-wheeled robot's tracks in the foreground and a Martian twister off in the distance, perhaps giving viewers the impression that the rover is in full retreat from a tornado. But Opportunity is not making a run for it. For one thing, the twister is a dust devil, not a true tornado of the type that can wreak havoc here on Earth. And with a top speed of just 0.1 mph (0.16 km/h) — and a minimum 8-minute round-trip communication delay between Opportunity and its handlers — fleeing is never really an option for the rover. So, the newly released image is just a nice, and fortuitously captured, tableau of the Red Planet's 14-mile-wide (22 km) Endeavour Crater. Dust devils are common on Mars, as they are on Earth. These spinning columns of air, which can carry dust high up into the atmosphere, are driven by solar heating and therefore are most common on warm, sunny days. The golf-cart-size Opportunity rover landed on Mars in January 2004, a few weeks after its twin, Spirit. Both robots began hunting for signs that liquid water once flowed across the planet, as part of a surface mission originally envisioned to last just three months.

if there are twisters (dust devils) on mars, doesn't this mean there is air on mars?
how can a planet have twisters- caused by wind- and no air...
this confuses me...

this confuses me... AND Number 3 – A mermaid. To some the object looks like little more than a rock outcropping. To one group of space enthusiasts the formation looks a little too much like the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen to be a coincidence. They theorize ancient Martians may have once colonized Scandinavia.
Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/thread/1596/mars#ixzz45GrN3G4U****** THIS particular picture has been "available" for many years. Definitely BEFORE the public rover started rolling around. I don't think that it is on that old R. hoak(g)land website of Mars. (not even aware if his internet stuff still exists: Mars face, etc.) I recall EXACTLY where I saw it. (I say this, because for those out there who know what I am saying, this is my proof that my "memory" on "recall" is at times, intact. LOL). The website I saw it on, no longer exists (except in occasional pieces of dialog across the 'net). But I will never forget what I saw on there. It was waaaay too fantastical for me, and before shape-shifting human/reptiles became a subject. The website, basically a huge blog by possibly one individual, a woman (?), specialized in certain types of photography. BEFORE that type of "analyse" of photography was available to the "mainstream". This picture, number 3, was on there. for those of you who remember "her' (the website), she started talking about being attacked through the internet and "spiritual attacks". She would go dark for awhile, and then come back apologizing and blaming "them" for her going dark. website was something like wiolawawordpress . . . Yeah, I'll never forget it if stoopid mistakes (like this old picture) keep showing up.

Credit: Pioneer Energy Reliable, cheap machines in development for future human Mars missions have another, unexpected use: improving beer bubbles here on Earth. The new carbon-dioxide-recycling tech comes courtesy of Robert Zubrin, an aerospace technology entrepreneur and president of the Mars Society. In partnership with NASA's Johnson Space Center, Zubrin's aerospace companies are building technology to help humans live off the resources of Mars. His vision is to use Martian air — mostly made up of carbon dioxide — for water, oxygen, fuel and other resources. [Read: What Would It Be Like to Live on Mars?] But Zubrin, a craft beer drinker, has found a way to turn his passion for space into passion for pints. His company, Pioneer Energy, based in Lakewood, Colo., has created a "mobile cart" to make it easier to ferment beer. Pioneer Energy's technology gets around a common problem for microbreweries. Fermenting beer produces alcohol and also carbon dioxide. In a big brewery, their multimillion-dollar systems can capture the carbon dioxide and use the purified version for carbonation and purging tanks, but such systems are out of small microbreweries' reach. Instead, the brewers are forced to let the gas escape and then to truck in carbon dioxide again when it is needed for other parts of the brewing process. Zubrin's gadget, on the other hand, can recapture that carbon dioxide at lower cost. "Our system produces about 5 tons of carbon dioxide per month," Zubrin said in NASA's press release. That amount would be enough for a brewery that makes up to 60,000 barrels of beer annually, he added, and bigger producers could stack the systems to increase production.

Credit: NASA/Lewis Research Center Look up this weekend to catch bright Mars as it begins a zigzag detour across the spring sky. In just six weeks, the planet Mars will make its closest approach to Earth since November 2005. These days, the Red Planet appears in the southeast skies just before midnight, glowing brightly like a yellowish-orange ember, and it is brightening noticeably with each passing week If you have been following Mars since New Year's Day, you may recall that back on the first day of the New Year, it was shining in the zodiacal constellation of Virgo. It was then 156 million miles (252 million kilometers) from Earth. In contrast, by the end of next week, Mars' distance from Earth will have diminished to less than 59 million miles (95 million km); it now shines about 10 times more brightly than it did at the start of this year.
