Minerals suggest life could have survived on Mars

Scientists have found minerals on Mars that suggest the planet was once wet enough to support life.
Deposits of carbonate, formed in neutral or alkaline water, were spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
“Obviously this is very exciting,” said John Mustard of Brown University in Rhode Island. “It’s white – it’s a bulbous, crusty material.”
Carbonate is formed when water and carbon dioxide mix with calcium, iron or magnesium. It dissolves quickly in acid, so its discovery counters the theory that all water on Mars was at one time acidic.

“It would have been a pretty clement, benign environment for early Martian life,” said Bethany Ehlmann, a graduate student at Brown University who led the study published in the journal Science.
“It preserves a record of a particular type of habitat, a neutral to alkaline water environment.”

Maybe these so called scientists should read there history..I refer to a series of books by Zecharia Sitchin.. These tell of the Anunnaki and there travels using Mars as a way station on the way to earth .. It also tell who the two faces on Mars are and why they were put there…The series is 15 books and it will explain many other things as well ..
These scientests aren’t the brightest sparks in the fire…

Gee what if that was the last planet we messed up before we had no choice but to move to this planet?

Cheak “Mars Anomaly Research” for some great photos.

#1. Do you really believe that? David Icke is ridiculous, and possibly the most crazy person on the planet. “These scientests aren’t the brightest sparks in the fire…” But they do know the proper usage of the words their, there, and they’re (sentence 1 if you don’t know what I’m talking about) and they also know how to spell scientists. Do you expect me to believe that credible scientific evidence should be discarded and I should believe you and your theories on reptilians if you cant use proper grammar and spell correctly. I learned that in 1st grade, and I also learned your an idiot.

Hehhe, yeah Michael, there are some solid nutters commenting on these stories. I find it amusing at best, downright worrisome at worst. Oh, and its “you’re,” not “your.”

You got me. Well played. Now feel free to disagree with everything I say. lol.

Also back to number 1, Sitchin’s translations of Summarian texts were grossly off. Don’t believe me? Check it out yourself. Translate them for yourself, he’s way off.

Well MIcheal … Maybe before shooting your big mouth off you should read all 15 books.. It’s not the spelling it’s the message..
Doubt you have read and you Ickes’ books either..

What am I going to believe? a youtube video? Or scientific evidence? I’ll take the latter.

I just got into an argument about Mars (avoid drinking and talking about this subject), and why NASA would cover up the fact that the sky is BLUE. So why is everyone supprised when NASA has to backtrack and admit what they have known for DECADES. They only admit when they cannot keep the lie going. It is rife with all kinds of signs they black out, strip, and change color tones to decieve…

Maybe we should send ALL politicians to mars, and let them rule from there. That way,
if they talk rubbish, and lie, we can just say NO THANX, and continue with our lives !!!!
Merry Crimbo to 1 & ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
