Short term thinking ? Letting billions starve in poverty, pollute the planet to level that future generations would not have clean water or air here on Earth and spend billions to find traces of water on another planet rather than invest in keeping this planet good.Short term thinking that.
Dirty ectothermic aquatic bastards.Catfish.
People going mad about this. Have read the paper it comes from. Highly sensationalized.
What they've found is a certain type of signal which they've interpreted as liquid water.
The technique is to throw radio waves at the planet and process the echo. In 2007, a different satellite found the exact same thing in the exact same place but as it's so cold there, they decided against claiming liquid water.
Since then, there's been some research that shows that certain types of salt are more prevalent on Mars.than was first thought.
So they've took this fact, observed the spot again and declared that it now makes sense that it's liquid water. But it's still a guess and open to other interpretations. It could be quite a few different things that just happen to look like certain under ice lakes in Antarctica look like, which is the reference point they are using.
A Chinese satellite is passing over the South Pole soon so that will probably be used to take more measurements. But to be honest it will probably take a few years to confirm or deny this.
Party pooper
100% agree with you. It’s obscene that the focus of the best minds is distracted from what could be made better for the poor to average humans on Earth (Never mind the money). When the comet with our name on it arrives it’ll be the likes of Trump that’ll live in a pod in Mars.Short term thinking ?

What is the long-term plan - move 7 billion people along with trillions of other animal species all to Mars ?
Convoluted and distorted sense of what is good for humankind is what that statement is.

We’ve conquered Earth, now I want us to conquer the Solar System, starting with Mars.Short term thinking ?

I think we should be starting with Europa, it'd be easiest. Can't see us doing anything with Mercury or Venus.We’ve conquered Earth, now I want us to conquer the Solar System, starting with Mars.
After we’ve conquered Mars, I want us to move straight onto the gas giants. Fuck their moons; not interested.I think we should be starting with Europa, it'd be easiest. Can't see us doing anything with Mercury or Venus.
