some IDOT no, (I didn't forget the i), emailed that to me just 2 weeks ago. That's my fuck up for this month.

Always check those emails on Snopes.

theyve known about frozen water on mars for almost as long as theyve known about mars itself. (well had a good enough telescope to look at it)

I have some red / cyan glasses from spy kids 3D laying around so I was blown away looking at this anaglyph of the crater . But even crazier was this one at hi-res.

No, you got it right. Yes, back in March it was the closest in 60K years. But THIS month Mars is again close, just not quite as close as it was before.

Actually, boring.

As a former X-Ray Technologist, highly and obsessively monitored, I say Pah! What's the cancer rate of radiologists? Of techs? Lots of techs and rads die of thyroid CA...and worse. It's getting better but far above the national standard. Do you see anyone saying radiologic procedures should be banned?

Alas, the Anaglyph 3D Glasses Standards Committee has much work to do. In fact, I believe even the two images Slight posted use opposite standards.

with ambient air pressure approximately 1% of what we enjoy here on our big blue marble, that water would sublimate (not melt->evaporate, since it's soooo cold. brrr.) But you're right on. That *would* be exciting. Very very.

If the water did [sublimate] , it would probably become part of the planet's "atmosphere" and never make it back to the ground. Obvously the planet hasn't had any major changes in climate in eons.
I thought I saw my uncle Cleve strolling around in the last image....

Well we can fix that little problem pretty quickly. Hell, we can make it a ghetto in a couple of years, once we get there.

Get our asses up there and pump several trillion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, we'll have 'er put to rights in no time.
