Could there be water on Mars?



The buried lake of Mars could just be layers of ice and rock. But maybe the astronauts can benefit from that ice. If that ice is water astronauts can use it simply by melting it. And if we are thinking about the Mars colony or Mars base, we must realize that it's safer for that colony that Mars has no living organisms. 

And then we must realize one thing. Water and life are not synonyms. Water doesn't automatically mean that there are alien lifeforms. And fossils of bacteria are not mean that there are some living creatures on that planet. And living bacteria don't mean that there are intelligent organisms. 

Well, the existence of water and liquid water are different things. There could be lots of water on Mars, but that water could be crystallized form in minerals like sulfates. It's possible to separate that water by warming those minerals. And sometimes pupils are making this kind of experiment in a chemistry course. But is there liquid water on Mars? That is a different thing. 

Today planet Mars is a very cold place. There is only weak volcanic activity. There is could be carbon dioxide ice under the surface. And if there is some kind of extra energy in those carbon dioxide ice pockets that can cause carbon dioxide vaporization. 

Also, giant dust storms are traveling across the desert. So there is a possibility that some kind of meteor impact or friction in sandstorms can rise the temperature in some places and form something liquid. But is that liquid thing some kind of carbon dioxide?  

Because of low pressure in the atmosphere, there is vaporized water in Mars' atmosphere. There is the possibility that there was some kind of life forms. But that doesn't mean the bacteria are living. There is the possibility that those bacteria are stoned or turned into fossils that involve things like methane gas. 

Methane gas found on Red Planet. There is suspicion that microscopic bacteria formed that. That doesn't mean that there are active bacteria on Mars. Even if bacteria formed that methane, it could be stored in the mineral pockets or the bacteria fossils millions of years ago. 

So maybe that methane is the remnant of the lost lifeforms. Maybe that methane was stored in bacteria millions of years ago. And those fossils kept that gas inside them until NASA's probes released that gas. 

In history, the planet Mars was a suitable place for the birth of life. But then its climate changed. That planet lost its entire lithosphere at least twice. And some asteroid impact changed its trajectory. The question is how far has life advanced on that planet? 

There is suspicion that there was some kind of bacteria on that planet before its climate changed. It's possible, that researchers can find remnants of those ancient bacteria. 

But if there are remnants of those bacteria only in a few places on the surface. That tells that some kind of meteorites brought those lifeforms to the Red Planet. When we see Mars in modern images we see the remnants of ancient rivers and seas. But where that water that created those ancient rivers was gone? 

Of course, the UV radiation from the sun can destroy water molecules. But there is no UV radiation in all places on Mars. Those ancient rivers formed after the last big catastrophe. That means Mars already lost lots of its mass and maybe its magnetic field turned weak. And there was still water in a short period after the last big impact. Was something vaporized in that water after the last big impact? 

Was some kind of radiation impact vaporized water? Was Mars hit by FRB (Fast Radio Burst) that raised the planet's temperature? Or could the UV radiation be so powerful that it broke all water molecules on that planet? 

The question is where has the water gone? And why that thing that vaporized water didn't destroy those ancient riverbeds? 

What raised the temperature on the entire planet without harming the geological structures of ancient rivers? If that thing was some kind of meteorite. Ancient riverbed geological structures should be destroyed during that impact. So, could there be some kind of meteorite rain? In that version, the small ice bites of carbon dioxide or methane ice impacted the atmosphere of the Red Planet. And that raised the temperature that vaporized water.

The hypothesis about the planet, what could be covered with metal plates.

Picture I

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Sometimes I have thought the opportunity to cover the entire moon with solar panels, we would face the problem because the opposite side of the moon is very tall mountains. But if we think some smooth draft planets like Ceres or Juno, we might get interesting thoughts, that we would cover entire asteroid with steel plates, what is placed on pylons. Under those plates, we could make the world, what is like on Earth. Of course, we could make that artificial core by using large plates of diamond glass, what makes this space like some greenhouse. That kind of fictional superstructures is probably true in the stations, what is planned in the asteroid belt and other moons and planets in the universe in some plans, what are made by some private corporations with ESA  and NASA.

This is the fiction in nowadays, but maybe in the future, we would make those things in our solar system and even more far away, if we someday make the journey to some other solar system for colonizing other planets.  When we are reading science fiction book, what has the name "The foundation", we would face the planet named "Trantor". It is a part of the fictional universe, what has created Isaac Asimov. This fictional planet has been covered by metal plates and cities, and that has given an idea, what could someday save the human race. In this theoretical solution, we would use technology, that already exists in everyday life, but in huge scale.


If we would have resources for this, we would not need for life circles and can colonize any planet in the universe. We must only cover the entire planet with metal plates, and then under that artificial core would be giant hangar-type room or space, where the colonialists would live like on the planet Earth, by filling that space with oxygen and other gases, what is suitable for making the artificial atmosphere in that space. In this case, would be used normal building technology, but in huge scale. And the space under those plates can be warmed by using nuclear power.


This would allow us to colonize planets, what are normally hostile for the lifeform, what we are. And that would be more reasonable than move to the planet, what is suitable for us without morphing the conditions at the surface because there could be dangerous organisms. And that's why there would be reasonable to find the planet, what is hostile for lifeform like we are, and then modify the conditions suitable for us. The water, what can be found on asteroids, can be used to creating oxygen by electrolysis, and nitrogen can be found on other planets atmosphere. This is very interesting thought, what came to my mind in one day.

What kind of lifeforms might be live on Enceladus?


(Picture 1)



https://futurism.com/alien-life-saturn-moon/

There is a moon named Enceladus orbiting a Saturn, what maybe has alien life form. This life form might exist because this moon has liquid water under its icy surface. And the liquid water is possible because the tidal power of Saturn keeps it warm. If we will find the living organisms in that place, that organism might be similar, what is found near “black smokers” at the bottom of the ocean. Those cells animals can synthesize oxygen in their bodies, and they don’t need free oxygen for their living.


But if there would be organisms what uses photosynthesis, their form might be like long seaweeds, what uses erupting icy geysers to raise very high from this moon surface. The eruption of geyser would pull those cell lines upwards, and that would help them to get enough light for photosynthesis. This is only thinking about this alien life form, and we are not sure is there an alien life in that icy moon.


And if there is an extraterrestrial life, we must ask next question about the life of that moon This question is, could that organism be a threat to us? There could be many things, what could influence that thing. One is that organism might be “Gaia”. This means that there are only one species of bacteria or amoeba in this moon. And that kind of organism might be very sensitive because it doesn’t need to fight for live space. So if those icy geysers would drive those cells high enough, would some of them travel near Earth. If those cells would be like covert lifeform, what has silicon cod, that organism might survive alive in empty space. But this is only theory.


There is one very small possibility that those cells could be travel to our home planet. It would be the scenario, that one of those geysers would drop some cells to the orbiter of Saturn, and then there would become the comet, what hits to those cells. When this comet or asteroid comes near Earth, that could deliver those cells to Earth. This scenario would not be probable, and if those cells could be live, that case would need the thing, that the asteroid or comet would turn around, and the shadow of this rock would cover them of the ultraviolet radiation of Sun.


But there is a possibility that there is no life in that life form on that moon. And it will give us an interesting opportunity to use Enceladus as a laboratory or as a "living lab", where the human race can test and analyze the evolution. In this case, to this moon would send the probe, what has tiny bacteria in the capsule. And when those bacteria would release to that moon, would the scientists discover, what evolution will make, if those organisms are in the fully isolated place. This test would mean that Enceladus would be polluted by biological organisms. Enceladus would be suitable for that kind of action because it is so far away from Earth. But this is the only vision, not the real experiment. But it is possible to send the probe to that moon, and deliver the organism to that surface.
