Wacky and out of control.

who would name a city "Fox"?

i find that so freaking cool, but also terrifying at the same time.

thing is, Mars has been "dead" for more than 31,000,000 years. so i don't know what we can think about this. the article also says that the bactaria clings to pockets of water, at this point we don't know if mars has pockets of water. this is still really really cool though!

Invading a town near you.

No, but we do know for sure that water has existed since there is a lot of ice beneath the surface of mars.

yeah but scients say that the water froze about 40-100 million years ago.

but then there are some lesser-known scientists who suggest 2-6 million years ago. but those guys are mostly the type of people who would appear on Coast to Coast or something.

guys, you're way off.


the issue at hand is clearly that some psycho named his town after a rodent.

what if these are some ancient disease? and we all die?

what if they help us find the cure to diseases?

then id call you an idiot

i'd hope so..


that type of thing clearly gets overlooked too easily

Fascinating. Can you imagine if this eventually lead to the cure for neuro degenerative diseases? Like Alzheimers or Parkinsons?

Wow.

what if they don't?

what if we unfreeze organisms from mars, and they take over the planet?

Yeah so that means that the water was unfrozen that long ago, how do we know for sure there weren't extremophiles in the water when it froze or anywhere else on mars for that matter?

Maybe the water was really a living entity on it's own, like a giant water blob! Like Roseanne! Except she's holding a lot more than water!
