Picture alleged to be from NASA’s first Mars landing

The whole Mars thing is highly controversial. Some say it didn’t happen and that the landings and pictures are staged. Some say it did happen but that nothing interesting was found.

Others say it did happen and that something interesting was indeed found.

Daily Mail:

The hunt for alien life may have ended in the 1970s according to one former NASA scientists.

In an op-ed published in Scientific American titled ‘I’m Convinced We Found Evidence of Life on Mars in the 1970s’ former NASA scientist Gilbert Levin writes that  a mission to Mars was the first concrete example of biological life on other planets.

‘What is the evidence against the possibility of life on Mars? The astonishing fact is that there is none,’ writes Levin.

‘Furthermore, laboratory studies have shown that some terrestrial microorganisms could survive and grow on Mars.’

Levin points to a pair of missions in 1976 when NASA sent its Viking Landers 1 and 2 to Mars – the agency’s first-ever trip to the Red Planet.

While there, the landers took several samples from the Martian soil in an attempt to search contents for signs of biological life.

One of the tests called the Labeled Release life detection experiment, which was spearheaded by Levin, involved combining martian soil samples with organic compounds and then looking for signs of carbon dioxide.

Any microorganisms that were present in the soil would have metabolized the compound and released CO2, says Levin.

Shockingly, the tests initially turned up a significant four positive results and we duplicated by both landers located 4,000 miles apart on the planet.

Despite the initial success, however, further experimentation from NASA turned up empty-handed when NASA searched for specific microorganisms.

According to the agency, the tests ‘provided no clear evidence for the presence of living microorganisms in soil near the landing sites.’

Nonetheless, Levin says evidence of alien life has been bolstered by other discoveries since the Viking missions like evidence of water and other oganice compounds and the failure of 43 subsequent studies on the finding to provide a direct explanation.

See, that is one of the reasons why we need more women in science. With female scientists, “it just happened” would have been a good enough explanation and NASA wouldn’t have had to waste money and time doing 43 studies on it.

‘In summary, we have: positive results from a widely-used microbiological test; supportive responses from strong and varied controls; duplication of the LR results at each of the two Viking sites; replication of the experiment at the two sites; and the failure over 43 years of any experiment or theory to provide a definitive nonbiological explanation of the Viking LR results,’ writes Levin.

Levin says even though evidence has pointed toward signs of life, subsequent missions to Mars since the Vikings touched down have failed to pursue the unexplained threads.

‘NASA has already announced that its 2020 Mars lander will not contain a life-detection test,’ he writes.

Here’s something to think about: if you had sent an expedition to Mars and found something interesting, would you communicate all of your findings to the rest of the world? News spreads fast. You could keep it classified in your own country if you have enough power and capacity to control what happens there, but what about other countries? Can you vouch for whatever country is supposed to be your ally?

Can you ensure that your enemies won’t hear about it?

Would you be willing to risk a race to Mars involving all of Earth’s superpowers?

Thas rite, tis the time of dae black velvet now.

What did he mean by this?

CNN:

Forget everything you’ve learned about men and Mars.

Chances are the first person to land on the red planet will be a woman, the head of NASA said recently.

Jim Bridenstine was a guest on the science and technology radio show “Science Friday,” when he teased that a woman is “likely to be” the first person on Mars.

The NASA administrator did not identify a specific person, but said women are at the forefront of the agency’s upcoming plans.

Bridenstine responded “absolutely” to a question from a Twitter user who asked whether women will be included in the agency’s next trip to the moon.

In fact, he said the next person on the moon is also likely to be a woman.

Why not just ban men from NASA? Just ban men from being astronauts. It’s her turn now.

It’s the turn of wombmen now.

Why? Because if there’s life on Mars we need our women to be impregnated by martians, and they need to bring back those anchor babies so the Martians can come to our country LEGALLY.

We need to mix with the Martians for our economy to flourish.

We want the highest number of Martians EVER to be coming into our country LEGALLY to work all of these new jobs that we’re generating.

We need them to come work those jobs because otherwise the economy would be stunted, and we need it to not be stunted; we need it to grow, and grow, and grow, until all of our people disappear and the only thing that remains of them are the jobs that they created and gave away to others.

The economy is all that matters now.

I really thought that we were going to Mars.

It kept me going.

When things got bad, I just reminded myself that nunna it would matter once we were all set up on Mars and then those moons near Saturn.

Alas.

RT:

Mars One, the company that promised to colonize Mars with human volunteers and make a reality TV show about it, has gone bankrupt, crushing the dreams of its willing participants and drawing ‘I told you so’s’ from its critics.

The company hoped to send people on a one-way trip to Mars where they would settle for the rest of their lives as we on Earth watched it all unfold from the comfort of our couches.

News of the company’s demise was only revealed thanks to a Reddit user who found a court notice from Basel, Switzerland which said it was declared bankrupt on January 15, 2019.

The group said it had 200,000 willing participants, but this was disputed by former NASA researcher Joseph Roche, who had volunteered for the project and said the real number was 2,761. He also said the selection process had a points system which could be increased by buying merchandise or donating money to the company. 

It was a scam.

Tfw this will never be you.

This thing will only really take off if a government agency does it.

I don’t believe that any private company will go ahead and do this. Why would they? There are no Benjamins in it. The only reason that you would want to go to Mars is just because. Intergalactic Space Reich. Destiny among the stars. White Celestial Lebensraum.

The money comes later. 

The businesses will come once the colony is up and running. Then they’ll start charging people for oxygen like in that movie.

Until a government decides to do it – assuming that it even can be done – it won’t be done.

Trump said in the SOTU that he’s going to do space missions again.

Buzz made some weird faces when he said that. He does it every time that the topic of space comes up.

Trump also said that he’s going to build a Wall. He also claimed that he’s already started building the Wall.

And uh… well…

Let’s just say that I’m not going to get my hopes up about space exploration again.

Trump might just come out and say on Twitter that he’s in the process of building a Mars colony RIGHT NOW.

“We’ve got a guy up there right now, he already banged Dejah Thoris, she was beautiful. Biggest, roundest tits you’ve ever seen. People say she had melons, but I mean she had real melons. Not like those droopy things the Democrats try to pass off as tits. I talked to him today on the space phone and he was fighting a 4-armed white gorilla. It was huge. Huge. We’ve got the best Mars colonists, folks. The best.”

And then Boomers will get mad at you and call you a libtard on social media if you ask for proof.
