Mars

Let take a look at what Science says about Mars. It is called a terrestrial planet with an Equatorial Diameter of 6,792 kilometers. It is thought to have a metallic core that is dormant with less dense material around it.
The outer crust is thought to average about 50 km. It has an axial tilt close to Earth at 25.19 degrees that give it seasons. The average distance from the Sun is around 230 million kilometers so the temperature has a range from -225 f. at the poles to 95 f. in the summer at the equator.
Science says that there can not be liquid water. It does not exist on the surface because of to low of atmospheric pressure but many do believe that at one time in the past most of the plains had been covered with Oceans that where many meters deep. This would have made it look way different from how we see it today.
We see it as a dry and dead planet but was it always that way? Science for the most part has always walk a tightrope when it came to the possibility of there being life there now but there are a lot who believe that it could have had life in the past.
Mars has two moons but no one is sure as to where the may have come form. Most believe that they where captured rocks. The smaller is also the closest named Deimos. It is about 12 km. Phobos the lager is about 22 km. The tidal forces from Mars is pulling it in and one day it will fall to the surface or it will break up and become a ring of dust.
In 1976 NASA send Viking 1 and 2 to the surface. Viking 1 landed July 20th and Viking 2 on September 3rd. Each conducted three biology experiments looking for life. They believed that solar ultraviolet radiation that saturates the surface and the dryish soil makes life unlikely.
There is no global magnate filed but it has been magnetized. The surface is believe to have up to 43,000 caters of 5 km. or lager with countless smaller ones. What gives the surfaces its deep red color is Iron ore rust. The southern highlands have by far the most caters. Where in the northern there are lowlands.
The lowland carters seam to be well over 3 billion years old where in the southern highland they are around 1 billion years old. Why this is is really unknown. Some think it is because of the volcanism that is now extinct.
There are many volcanoes but the largest is called Olympus Mons, a shield volcano. With a base of about 25 km. It is the largest one in ore Solar System. Over two times the size of Mt. Everest. There is no plate tectonics like there is on Earth so the are able to get lager.
There are what Science says are large Canyons but to how they where formed is up for debate. Valles Marineris is the largest of them, being around 5000 km. long and up to 500 across. Far to lager to be the result of wind erosion.
The wind has played a big part in the shaping of mars. There is “seasonal winds” from solar surface heating. It produces high velocity dust storms that can over take the whole planet at times. The dust acts link sand blasting on the surface rocks and sand dunes would form just to move around.
2017 marks 52 years of successful NASA missions to Mars starting with Mariner 4 in 1965. The cost has been hi but how can we put a price on knowledge or should we? One of the things we have learned over the years is that NASA never really tell us the whole truth about Mars or the Moon for that matter.
Now that you have read about what Science has said about Mars I’m going to tell you what I think. When I was young like a lot of children at the time I would watch B movies and this made my imagination run wild. Often the stores when about a strange race trying to take over the Human race.
I’m not sure if this was just to make a good store or if this was to show that Mankind had the ability to over come any thing. For what ever reason it showed or tried to show that Mankind was the smartest and more advanced race in the Universe. This I find hard to believe.
Many of the stores where about a race from Mars who wanted the Earth because there world was dieing. I’m telling you this to set up what I believe what Mars may mean to the Human race and what may of happen to it in the past.
Let me make this clear I am no expert on any subject having never finished high school and all of this could be no more than my own imagination but I believe this could help us to understand who we as the Human race and why we are here. Many still today believe that Mankind is the only life in the Universe.
You can look at pictures of Mars today on line at a number of sites. Most show a dry desert of dust and rocks as far as you can see and some have even been altered. Now there are to type of the ones that get altered. Ones that show some thing that some one wants to hide or ones that some one added some thing into the picture.
I understand some one adding some thing to one to try to make you think in away they want but to hind some thing is really beyond my thinking but you can clearly see that a lot of pictures of Mars and our Moon have been. Go Goggle Mars Anomalies or check it on you tube. You will fine stuff that will blow your mind.
At first NASA would show only black and white photos of Mars just as they did for the Moon. Some believe this was because it was easier to air brash out areas. You can find a lot of this if you take a good like. It was the same with what they showed us form the Apollo missions.
Most believe what was shown but I’m glad there where a few that questioned the photos. Today there are many place that you can down load the pictures. I have a fair size collection of them my self. I have taken then into my paintshop pro and had a good look at them.
Paintshop comes with filers you can use to help see things that in some cases have been messed with or to see in places that have a lot of shadows. I had to check them out my self so I spent hours look at them. There are things that don’t belong on a dry desert planet.
I have come to one conclusion and that is if still not at one time in the past there was life on Mars.
